Custom knife profiles
Match a historic profile from a sample, or design a new one and we'll grind the knife for it.

Doors, Trim & Molding
Solid stock milled to your profile — built to survive Florida sun, rain and humidity.
The problem
What usually goes wrong.
Stock doors and finger-jointed trim look fine on installation day. Two Florida summers later the joints have opened, the finish has chalked and the doors have cupped toward the sun.
- Profiles limited to what the supplier stocks
- Exterior finishes not rated for west exposure
- Casing and crown that don't relate to each other
Our solution
How we run it instead.
We grind custom knives for your profile, build doors as engineered stile-and-rail so they stay flat, and finish all six faces before anything is hung.
Doors built to stay flat
Laminated cores and marine epoxy joinery keep seasonal movement under control.
Six-face sealing
Tops, bottoms and edges sealed in the shop — the places where field-finished doors fail first.
Whole-house trim packages
Casing, base, crown, wainscot and stair parts drawn as one coherent system.
The proof
Mahogany entry sets in Windermere still looking new after a full Florida summer of west-facing sun.
