A finished
product can only be as good as the raw materials from which it is
made. B.E. Hassett-Millwrights has extensive contacts
for the raw materials needed for mill repair, restoration and reconstruction.
Especially
important is the use of properly selected, harvested, milled and
weathered wood products. Often, the procurement and preparation
of the raw materials needed for authentic restorations and repairs
is more time consuming than the repair itself.
Hassett
Millwrights has established
sources for the species and dimensions of lumber found in period
mill work.
