Looking to get your table spruced before the holidays – and possibly to impress your family and friends by steaming out a dent with an iron? Then our Joinery Furniture Repair and Maintenance seminar is for you. Our Finish team will be offering a Furniture Repair and Maintenance seminar loaded with helpful tips on the care of Joinery furniture. This seminar will feature general Feed-N-Wax application, how-to’s on repairing water rings, and the most fun part: steaming out dents with an iron.

While we did our best to keep track of everyone who came out to celebrate with us, we lost track around 350 people, which seemed like a good official number to land on for our 35^th anniversary. We were pleased to see so many friends, including past and present customers, employees and business partners.

We humbly thank you all for making it possible to reach this point, and look forward to another 35 years of creating handcrafted furniture that’s here for good.

It has been a busy Spring on the sustainability front at The Joinery. We recently completed our fourth B-corp certification, moved up to #30 on Oregon Business Magazine’s “Best Green Workplaces” list, and achieved Gold certification on the City of Portland’s Sustainability at Work program.

The Joinery has been a certified B Corp since 2010.  B Corps (the “B” is for “Benefit”) use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. Certification involves a rigorous third-party assessment of company practices across five areas: Environment, Workers, Customers, Community, and Governance.

“B Corp certification is important to us for a couple of reasons,” said CEO Jon Blumenauer. “First, it gives us an objective third-party assessment to measure our progress against. And because the process is so thorough and rigorous, the certification signals to customers and other stakeholders that our efforts are credible and significant.”

With hundreds of votes and much internal competition, our Metamortise competition has come to end and we are happy to crown Olivia our Metamortise Winner for 2017!
