Our favorite employee of the tour: He is in charge of new "UHPOLESTEERY" pieces.
"This chair is like a handkercheif; it is made for showing not blowing"
He can take an engerinerred drawing (see below) and create it! This craft is amazing!
The finishing booths- we love Hickory Chair because of the numerous finishes they can do.
