All Cut and Ready for Assembly
Each piece of the cradle is individually hand cut and fitted before gluing. This is a very time-consuming process because we do not use CNC machines.

Clamps and more Clamps
It takes a lot of clamps to firmly hold everything in place during the gluing process. We do not use staples, nails or screws in our assembly.

Hand Taping
We hand tape each substrate 4 separate times during the different stages of assembly.

Ready for Sealing
Sealing is the first step in our finish process and is super important. We completely seal the entire substrate top, bottom and sides.
