Wooden products are manufactured through a structured process that combines material selection, seasoning, precision cutting, surface preparation, and finishing. At Woodino, this process is followed carefully to ensure durability, stability, and suitability for different end uses such as kitchenware, hotelware, furniture, painting bases, and resin art products.
Selection of Raw Wood
The manufacturing process begins with selecting the appropriate type of wood based on the product’s intended use. Hardwoods such as Sheesham, Mango, Acacia, Neem, Beech, and Rubber wood are commonly used due to their strength, grain quality, and long-term stability. For decorative or non-food applications, MDF may also be used where required.
Choosing the correct wood is critical, as each wood behaves differently in terms of moisture absorption, hardness, and surface finish.
Seasoning and Moisture Control
Once the wood is selected, it undergoes a seasoning process to reduce moisture content. Proper seasoning is essential to prevent issues such as cracking, warping, or movement over time. Depending on the wood type and product requirement, seasoning may involve natural air drying, controlled drying methods, or a combination of both.
This step ensures the wood remains stable during usage, painting, resin application, or long-term storage.
Cutting, Shaping, and Assembly
After seasoning, the wood is cut into required sizes and shapes using precision machinery and skilled craftsmanship. Products may be turned, carved, or assembled depending on the design. For items such as trays, bowls, boxes, or furniture components, uniform thickness and accurate dimensions are maintained to ensure consistency across batches.
At this stage, joints, compartments, and structural elements are formed where necessary.
Surface Preparation and Buffing
Before any finishing is applied, wooden products go through surface preparation. This includes sanding and buffing to create a smooth and even surface. For products intended for painting or resin art, this step is especially important, as a properly prepared surface improves adhesion and finish quality.
Plain or buffed wooden bases are supplied at this stage for artists, resin creators, and handmade businesses.
Treatment and Finishing
Depending on the product’s application, different treatments and finishes are applied. Food-use items may receive food-safe oils or coatings, while decorative products may be left natural or prepared for custom finishing. Finishes can range from natural buffing and matte polish to glossy coatings, melamine finishes, or resin compatibility preparation.
Chemical treatment may also be applied where required to improve durability and resistance to moisture or pests.
Quality Inspection and Packing
Each product undergoes quality inspection to check dimensions, surface quality, finishing consistency, and overall workmanship. Products are then packed carefully to prevent damage during storage or transport. For bulk and wholesale orders, uniformity and repeatability are maintained across the entire batch.
Manufacturing for Custom and Bulk Requirements
Wooden manufacturing often involves customization based on client requirements. This may include custom sizes, shapes, engraving, branding, or preparation for painting and resin work. Manufacturers also support bulk production for exhibitions, retail resale, hospitality use, and export markets.
A well-structured manufacturing process ensures that products remain consistent, functional, and suitable for further customization by artists, brands, or businesses.
