Louisiana Home & Garden Show

This weekend is the Louisiana Home and Garden Show at the Superdome and Central City Millworks is please to announce that we will be in attendance, displaying some of our finest work.  Come see us at Booth 672 to see some of our bracket designs, shutters, railing & balusters and much more.  While there you can look at our full portfolio to see all of the gorgeous cabinetry, stairs, doors windows and other woodwork that we produce.  We will also be featuring out antique heart pine flooring.  Reclaimed heart pine is a better alternative to white or carribean pine because it is more durable, more fitting with New Orleans architecture, and “green” because it is all reclaimed material, not newly milled.

So if you are interested in New Orleans millworks, come by Booth 672 to meet Central City Millworks.

Shutters

Shutters are a major architectural feature of New Orleans houses.  Central City Millworks specializes in fabricating authentic wooden shutters that replicate old world details.  New Orleans shutters come in all shapes and sizes and our woodworking expertise helps us to build shutters to match existing details.  Take a look at a few examples:

New Orleans Architectural Bracket

In addition to being able to cut cabinets quickly and efficiently, the CNC Router is able to cut intricate patterns that are drawn on Corel Draw and then sent to the machine.  Using this technique we recently made a bracket for a house that is being renovated by Hal Collums Construction.  Click here to see the Bracket

Bracket

This house originally had 5 brackets under the front eave, but two were missing.  We took a picture of one of the existing brackets and then carefully traced that picture on the computer. 

The bracket is made in 3 pieces.  The middle piece is solid and painted a contrasting color.  The two pieces with the cutouts sandwich the middle together to form the traditional architectural detail.
