Paul Grothouse gave a tour of the shop where solid wood countertops, bar tops, and tables are made, to students from the local school Lehigh Career and Technical Institute Special Needs Class. Escorted by Jeffrey Dell and Onalise Witty, the students from the Service Occupation Cluster focus on Indoor and Outdoor Maintenance. Their tour of the facility helped them discover how their skills can be applied in a manufacturing environment. As they toured the facility, they were happy to find that a lot of skills they do have can be used for maintenance at the shop. As a souvenir, students picked out a piece of wood to take home with them. It was an enjoyable day for all.
Grothouse offers a one hour NKBA CEU certified course entitled “Intro to Wood Countertops”.

Grothouse continues to revolutionize their solid wood surfaces by offering our newest and largest El Guapo edge profile for any construction style.
This Friday we are flashing back to the construction of our shops. Teamwork and skilled craftsmanship were the key components to our success.
A Custom Butcher Block Countertop was crafted to look like a piano keyboard. The countertop is made of Wenge in Butcher Block with Maple Edge Grain construction style.
