list, drawings and photos which illustrate the text. We also recommend a dry assembly “practice run” on all parts prior to actual
gluing. Instructions or information in bold print are critical for proper assembly and for avoiding irreversible assembly

Important Notes About Solid Wood
One of the unique characteristics of solid hardwood is the varying hues and patterns within a single piece of lumber. Since no
two trees are identical, no two pieces of wood can be exactly alike either. Each has its own characteristics created by nature,
not by man. Unlike plastics and some veneers in which the grain pattern is symmetrical, solid hardwood has irregular and
asymmetrical graining, which adds to the overall beauty. In the same manner, the various shadings and colors within solid
hardwood are part of its beauty.

Clamping
Clamping is necessary to insure tight accurate fits of glued joints. Conventional F-style or band clamps may be used. Large
rubber bands can often be used in place of conventional clamps.
Glue
We recommend Titebond yellow aliphatic resin glue used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a glue brush or
cotton swab to spread the glue. A thin even spread on both parts is best. Clean up excess glue by scraping it off with a knife
blade or scraper. Do not wipe glue off with a damp cloth as the moisture of the cloth will thin the glue and allow it to
