New "Waxable" Woodgrain

A "natural finish" woodgrain that comes to life with a touch of spray wax is the newest in the Nevamar line of special surface high-pressure plastic laminates.

In its non-waxed state, the new woodgrain, Silvan Teak, has the iook of untreated and unfinished wood. Unlike other woodgrain patterns, there is no gloss or shine to the surface. Like real wood, however, the surface takes on a lustrous shine when given a coat of good quality spray wax. The rich, warm browns and the bold graining of the Silvan Teak pattern are highlighted.

Home furnishings, cabinets and architectural interiors are expected to be prime applications for the beauty and 'waxability' of the new Silvan Teak. It is available in general purpose H-5 grade, and in popular sheet sizes.

Multl-rlp Gang Saws

Alden claims its saw is a positive feed saw for every purpose: gang, single, and straight ripping.

Eight power driven feed rolls, with roller chain drive, dig in to pull even wet, slippery lumber through the powerful arbor, the company says.

Jtnurry, 1976

Top feed rollers are mounted in independently adjustable yokes with spring tension to provide firm, constant pressure during the entire travel of the stock. Rolls are driven by a 2 hp. gear head motor with speeds ranging from 25 to 200 FPM.

For operator safety, the machine is equipped with a heavy duty antikickback system, adjustable for any size stock. A special dust/chip boot guards against flying splinters and dust.

The entire feed mechanism can be raised and lowered with the table. This keeps the table square and rigid at all times and permits easy removal of the saw arbor sleeve. Saws are available in 3" thrgugh 6" models.

Modern Yesterday Doors

The look of yesteryear becomes as modern as today when either the new Tiffany or Chateau Orleans door from Simpson Timber Co. is selected. These elegant doors combine the current nostalgia with the contemporary look, yet are handsome and versatile enough to complement any architectural style.

The Tiffany, with a stained glass insert as one of the nine panels, is reminiscent of the turn-of-the-century when elegance was the keyword. The Chateau Orleans, with double panels of leaded glass, is a heritage from the early French settlers who brought their artisans with them to the Louisiana bayou country. The Chateau Orleans adds a carved center panel. Subtle colors in both door inserts respond to light, like prisms.

The doors, which are just now being introduced into Simpson's International Line of fine entryways, are the first with stained or leaded glass to become part of this hallmark line

Manufactured of vertical grain kiln dried Douglas fir or hemlock, all doors meet or exceed Industry Standard 5-75 issued by the Fir & Hemlock Door Assn,, when properly handled and installed. Stiles are a full 5-3/8" wide on standard doors, to take extra-large hardware gracefully. All doors are l-3l4" thick.
