--> --> I MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS WHO ARE LOOKING TO PURCHASE FULL FLITCH OR PALLET QUANTITIES FOR LARGER PROJECTS. PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO CALL ME ON MY CELL PHONE AT 413-441-3369 OR EMAIL ME AT BEN@BERKSHIREVENEER.COM WITH SPECIFIC INQUIRIES. SAMPLES CAN BE GENERATED FOR APPROVAL, AND I CAN HELP ORCHESTRATE MILL DIRECT SHIPMENTS. THE END OF AN ERA! AS I WIND DOWN BERKSHIRE VENEER AND WANDER AROUND THE WAREHOUSE LOOKING AT THE LAST REMAINING INVENTORY, IT ALLOWS ME TO REFLECT ON THE PAST 35 YEARS OF RELATIONSHIPS I HAVE FORMED WITH HUNDREDS OF FABULOUS CUSTOMERS. IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE WORKING WITH TALENTED ARTISANS WHO TAKE THE RAW VENEER AND TRANSFORM IT INTO THINGS OF BEAUTY. PROJECTS HAVE RANGED FROM TINY REPAIRS ON STEINWAY PIANOS TO TRICKING OUT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER MUSEUM WITH 6,000 SQUARE FEET NET OF WHITE ASH PANELS. I HAVE HAD THE JOY OF BEING INVOLVED WITH SOME OF THE MOST STUNNING ARCHITECTURAL WOODWORKING PROJECTS IN NEW YORK CITY AND BEYOND. AT THIS JUNCTURE IN LIFE, I’D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY “THANK YOU” TO ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALLOWED ME TO PLAY A SMALL PART IN THEIR PROJECTS. I HOPE THEIR WORLD IS A MORE BEAUTIFUL PLACE BECAUSE OF MY INVOLVEMENT. AND A TIP OF THE HAT TO THOSE VISIONARY ARTISANS WHO HAVE THE TALENT TO BRING SUCH PROJECTS TO FRUITION. THANK YOU. BEN BARRETT PRESIDENT, BERKSHIRE VENEER COMPANY, INC.
