Pre-finished, Pre-fir crnd Wropped Door Now Mqnufnctured by Col-Wood

Full-scale production of the first natural pre-finished, pre-fit and wrapped door to be manufactured in the West, is now in progress at California Wood Products, Inc., Santa Rosa, California. Production of the natural finishes involves newly developed manufacturing techniques that include resin-sealing (for greater protection against moisture, wrapping and handling marks), tinting (to bring out the beautiful natural grain characteristics), a.nd burnishing (for added lustre and depth).

Cal-Wood's unique processing includes two natural finishes: Custom-Surface and Custom-Coat. On Custom-Surface door faces, the manufacturer suggests a final, on-the-job application of either lacquer, wax, shellac, varnish or enamel for added durability. The Custom-Coat finish is complete and has a satin-smooth, natural flnish with the durability and appeafance of fine hand-rubbed furriture. Either finish would be difficult to duplicate outside of the plant.

Custorn-Coat trnished doors are pre-sized, bored and dapped. Boring is done to the customer's speciffcations. Each door is then individually wrapped in a protective "stay- on" wrapper that remains on the door through installation, application of all hardware as well as painting and plastering of adjacent materials.

According to J. A. Reese, Cal-Wood sales manag'er, the new pre-finished, pre-fit and wrapped doors will eliminate approximately 90Vo of present door rejection problems.
