Why It's Called Trim

Nothing is cut. It's all trimmed. Little by little you whittle it down to just the right size, angle and fit. Repeated trips to the saw. Painstaking half-a-blade rips, then back up to check. You get it close. Nail it down and move on.

Later you come back with sandpaper and trim some more. Take off the high points. Smooth the rough edges.

An extra hour of patience equals a lifetime of beauty.
