wood selection and cutting

1 - SELECTION
The hinoki wood boards are chosen one by one according to the necessity and planned use

 


2 - PREPARATION
The wood is cut as per the required sizes, eliminating soft areas (young layers) and knots, respecting the direction of the grain.


3 - CALIBRATION
The wood is planed to remove the imperfections and bring it to a uniform thickness.

 


4 - CUT
With a technique borrowed from boat construction, two planks are partially overlapped and hand sawn: so the adjacent boards are originated by a single cut and can match perfectly.
