The Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers of Canada[1] (AWMAC) and the Woodwork Institute[2] (WI) have finalized an agreement to develop a new architectural wood standard for North America.
The manual is aiming to be the most comprehensible woodwork standard ever published. It will combine enhanced pre-existing material with additional content and illustrations that reflect the progressive nature of woodworking in North America.
A standards committee with participants from each association was created to work on the manual. Members include Kerry DePape of AWMAC as chair, and Mike Hansen of WI as vice-chair. It also comprises AWMAC’s Martin Boutet, and Jim Taylor, along with WI’s Ray Cerulli, Bill Fenstermacher, and Paul Parks. Rob Gustafson is the editor, with Heather Zertuche as secretary.
