All of the Hangers at T Michael Woodworking begin with hand selected lumber from our local lumber yard, we then sort the boards looking for the most attractive grain and color, these will be the show pieces. The next step is to cut and match each hanger, once they become a matched set they go through a four step drilling process after which the threaded inserts are installed and the assembly is bolted together and cut to its final size. Now it is ready for the edge profile and keyhole bracket slots to be machined, after machining, all surfaces are sanded to a smooth finish. The final step is finishing, at T Michael Woodworking we use a three coat shellac finishing process, shellac is a natural and safe finishing product that functions as a tough coating with good color characteristics that enhance the wood. When you purchase a hanger from us you can be confident that it was made with a lot of pride in the finished product.
