Cabinets and woodworking



Our cabinet maker dropped by to discuss a problem that has come up with the wood for our cabinets. A month or more ago he picked up from Dimmok Timber the Yukon poplar we wanted to use for our cabinets. Something that made us happy about custom cabinetry was that we could use local supplies as well as local builders. Anway, the wood was shit. It was firewood, not worth the price paid (far too high for the amount of waste). Happily Marc (the cabinet maker) was able today to speak with the owner of the mill and get better wood. This is very good because he had already started to build the sides of the cabinets. Isla found the whole thing quite exhausting.
