Wednesday, August 17, 2011; 2:23pm Mary’s orchid needs some recovery. She’s asking if you are supposed to water from the leaves or is that incorrect?
Tuesday, August 16, 2011; 10:27am FINALLY! Working on some long Quartered Figured Fumed Eucalyptus all day today!
Monday, August 15, 2011; 2:02pm The Dooge Veneers company golf outing will be held on August 30 at Thousand Oaks in Grand Rapids. Looking forward to it!

Wednesday, August 10, 2011; 11:51am Our incoming aisles in the warehouse are full of new veneer… can’t wait to see what we have in store!
Tuesday, August 9, 2011; 1:43pm A message from Hank from his golf outing last week: “Enjoyed a phenomenal afternoon on the golf course with John Sommerdyke, our coporate attorney, John Skukalek, our corporate accountant and sponsor for the outing, and Dale Smith. We are lucky at Dooge Veneers to have such professional and great partners as John and John as part of our management team. We have done this outing early in August for the past 10 years and have had some close calls, but we finally won the event with a 9 under round anchored by Dale and his successful putting that saw him make 5 putts of over 22 feet with putting 4th as our anchor!”
Tuesday, August 9, 2011; 8:34am In the process of grading a newly received parcel of FSC Quartered Figured Sycamore – getting a great blend of A-grade material, AA material, and one unrivaled log of Architectural quality that is 420 cm long, outstanding, consistent fiddleback, great sequences, and large enough at 14,686 square feet to do a MONUMENTAL job!”

Friday, August 5, 2011; 9:21am A big THANK YOU to the ever-wonderful Kathy O’Brien for getting us ready for another three months of newsletters. We’re on a roll!
Thursday, August 4, 2011; 2:36pm Can you believe summer is almost over??? Where did July go?
Wednesday, August 3, 2011; 9:49am We have had to continue to be creative to fight the heat – during these humid times, we actually have to turn on the heater in our finishing booth to eliminate as much humidity as possible so that stains and finishes on our panels don’t cloud up!
Tuesday, August 2, 2011; 11:22am Lookin’ good guys! Check out photos of Gary and Kelli before and after the Warrior Dash.
Tuesday, August 2, 2011; 8:33am Found a new FSC Quartered Figured Bosse log… 45,000 square feet, 12 foot lengths, fantastic sequences and dimensions. Available mid September for that special project – samples available prior to our receipt of the goods if necessary.

Monday, August 1, 2011; 2:21pm Recently finished up replenishing our inventory of FSC Quartered Plain Anegre Pure, material will be ready for the market early to mid September – some nice light to medium figured material will also accompany this plain selection.

Monday, July 25, 2011; 8:25am Another week here at Dooge… another busy one, we hope??
Thursday, July 21, 2011; 1:29pm What a great feeling it is when jobs come full circle! Some projects take weeks and some take years to receive a final order/release of materials, but when all the pieces come together, it’s great. All our different customers keep each day new, different and fresh.
~Kelli @ Dooge
Thursday, July 21, 2011; 9:41am Not to sound like a broken record, but it’s HOT! Already in the mid 80s at 9am… drink lots of water and try to find some air conditioning!
Wednesday, July 20, 2011; 3:30pm We have some brand new, beautiful, consistent Euro Walnut available in stock.
Wednesday, July 20, 2011; 8:40am That heat is still NOT letting up here! Another couple days, then hopefully we’ll drop the “feels like” temperature below 102 degrees.
Tuesday, July 19, 2011; 4:49pm Spent the morning going through some samples of new production Quartered Figured Fumed Eucalyptus – there are a couple beauties that will hit the inventory in 3 to 4 weeks!
