Find your molding.

Every knife we've had made is still on the shelf, and none is ever reground to another shape. Search by type, size or knife number, then print the profile actual size and hold it against your trim.

From the family scrapbook

Hard maple from this mill went to the moon.

NASA came to Howard Armstrong during the Apollo program, and Armstrong hard maple went into the Lunar Rover. Over the years, wood from this farm has also gone into a Paul McCartney guitar, Detroit Tigers bat blanks and a table for Air Force One.

As reported by The Detroit News (1991) and the Northwest Oakland HighLander (1994).
