Students from Chaffey College accompanied by Instructor Dona Hutson of Matlock Design Build and Formica Sales Representative Linda Hinojosa attended a tour of AWC to witness a first-hand look into the woodworking industry.

Attendees heard presentations from Saul Martin of AWC regarding woodworking and production and an additional presentation from Erik Suzuki of AWC covering drafting and design.

Students also received a live demonstration of the woodworking process – from veneer, to mill, to assembly – by AWC employees Raul and Ofelia. Employees were able to showcase different materials and machines, including laminates, veneers, veneer press, and panel saw.
