It’s always a privilege to shoot in a clean wood factory.

Today we did a video shoot for a client who wanted to show advancements of wood-based furniture-making industry (floorings included). The workers are placing one-inch thick wood flitches/panels (known as Spotted Gum) on aluminium plates, that will be sandwiched with another piece of aluminium and stacked alternately. The stacking will then be pushed into a container-like vacuum drying kiln for 3 days (instead of 30 days using conventional gas kiln) to remove moisture from the wood, which will later be spliced into 4 thinner panels and then kept inside temperature-controlled conditioning room for few days.

It takes a lot of steps before raw wood can become floorings systems. And it takes discipline.
These are for exports.
