The Warmth of Wood

The Lexington home of Jim and Nancy Graves sports a butternut library custom-crafted by Leininger Cabinet and Woodworking. There are bookcases and a wet bar in the library, and a unique set of bi-fold doors leading to the kitchen. "This is good work," said Mr. Graves, of the double bi-fold doors, which form a raised panel jamb when they open. The jamb is "a neat detail dating back to Colonial times," said Rex Bartley, who has been in project management with Leininger Cabinet and Woodworking for five years. He had worked with the Graveses on two of their previous homes, and was delighted to work with them again as a member of the Leininger team.

These are the sentiments of fabricators and designers recently interviewed by Kitchen & Bath Design News, who relate that although the desire for a personalized environment is till high on clients’ lists, having a countertop that is durable is just as vital.

The Lightness of Being Contemporary

Round as a harvest moon, a head of Zeus smiles a bronze greeting from atop a mossy brick wall. At first glance, this replica of the Greek god of the heavens looks to be guarding a 4,500-square-foot, red brick, Eastwood Drive traditional home that conforms to the affluent Lexington neighborhood’s stringent building code.

Nestled in groundcover beside a solid cherry front door, a Dennis Whitcopf limestone-and-steel sculpture entitled “Greek Bride” hints at the lakeside abode’s surprise interior with its modern makeup and ample artwork.

THE WOOD 100: Ninth Annual Report

Wood & Wood Products 1998 Annual Report Cover

The results are in, and it’s clear that 1997 was a very good year for the members of the WOOD 100. The companies in this report racked up sales of more than $826 million and grew by an average of 31.9 percent – the highest average growth in five years and tied with 1991 for the second highest growth in the nine years of the WOOD 100. The early returns for 1998 also look good, as 78 percent are forecasting double-digit growth. One might think that things couldn’t possibly get better for these companies, but 40 percent of them are predicting their “best year ever” in 1999 with an additional 50 percent predicting a “good” 1999.

The WOOD 100 was established by Wood & Wood Products in 1990 to recognize the achievements of fast-growing wood products manufacturers. The WOOD 100 slogan, “Not the Biggest, the Best” was coined to encourage the participation of small custom woodworking shops as well as high-production woodworking companies.

The four pre-requisites needed for participation in the Ninth Annual Report are:

1.		Each company’s main business must be the manufacture of solid wood or composite panel products.
2.		Each company reported at least $100,000 in annual sales in each year since 1995.
3.		Each company enjoyed greater total sales in 1997 than in 1996.
4.		Each company completely filled out the WOOD 100 qualification form and granted W&WP permission to publish its annual sales figures and other information in this report.

Beyond these shared traits, the 1998 class of WOOD 100 companies runs the gamut in terms of size, product mix, location and theories for their individual success.

Leininger Cabinet & Woodworking was ranked 6th in its category for TOP GROWTH COMPANIES – ’96 sales $1 million to $2.5 million as they realized a 38.1 percent increase.
