All of the props are made of Red Alder (Alnus rubra), a species of
hardwood native to the Northwest coastal region. Joints are glued and
screwed with coated deck screws which are countersunk and covered
with walnut plugs. We use two coats of a water-based polyurethane
floor varnish that is non-toxic and very tough. Please note: this
finish is for indoor use only. Nearly every piece of each prop is
at least one full inch thick. This thickness of wood and the clean,
simple design of these props assures many years of faithful service
in the studio or home. And of course, all props are as nearly as
possible faithful to the dimensions approved by Mr. Iyengar.
