Crown Point Cabinet Factory Tour VideoBob visits with Brian Stowell at the Crown Point Cabinet factory in Claremont, New Hampshire. Crown Point uses a number of different woods for their cabinets, including quartersawn oak, Appalachian cherry, Honduras mahogany, and silver maple, while the interiors of the boxes are made from premium hardwood plywood. Crown Point uses a computer numeric controlled overhead router to cut the pieces for the boxes. It runs an entire sheet of plywood making all the cuts, dadoes, peg holes, etc. maximizing the use of the wood and reducing the chance for human error. Hardwood for the doors are hand selected, cut to length in the chop saw, grains are visually matched before jointing, and then glued up on a large glue clamp rack with a special glue able to withstand the heat needed for the oven-baked finish. Raised panels are shaped by a high-speed profile cutter to get their beveled edges. Door construction is essentially tongue and groove. They are hand- and machine sanded and then either hand stained or painted with an old-fashioned milk-painted finish.
