The Leader's Letter
|
It
gives me a real sense of pride to write this letter introducing our most recent
project here at Horizon Wood Products, our "News
from the Horizon" series. No doubt
this past year has been a tough one for most everyone in the wood
business. We are no exception. Most companies struggled to control losses
as domestic prices fell, banking collapsed, buying power and incentive
evaporated. It appears we are not out of
the soup yet. But in the hardy American
spirit we press on with determination! continue........

FINE WOODWORKING Magazine visits HORIZON to learn what makes good wood!
|
We've all fallen victim to the simplicity of going to the
grocery store and picking up a pound of hamburger without giving a thought to
all the behind-the-scenes efforts that go into its final presentation in the
butcher case. The same innocence often
goes into the process of buying wood or lumber. What happens after the tree is
harvested? What is the magic of the
milling process, the secret of careful dry kilning, or the environmental consciousness
of the wood producer? What is the process of getting the wood from log to consumer?
The esteemed Fine Woodworking magazine was seeking
answers to these questions. They turned
to the team that knows. They turned to
HORIZON! A couple of years back they
visited Horizon Wood Products with their cameras and crew. They probed around,
they questioned, they looked, listened and learned and they video taped it
all! Horizon was the feature video of
their on-line magazine and we are still gracing the pages of their web network. We urge you to follow the link, sit back and
get the inside look and feel of Horizon Wood Products and our philosophy. Visit the virtual view of Horizon. We believe you will like what you see. Fine WoodWorking/Horizon Wood video series
