Here you will see a photoreport with the wooden shoe production process. This report wil cover how nowadays a popular tree gets converted into a lot wooden shoes.


The storage of the tree trunks.


The fork-lift truck places a tree trunk on the moving band.


The automatic chainsaw saw the tree into slices ("bollen").
 
the slice will be saw with a band saw into triangle shaped pieces of wood.
 
The copyingmachine will shape the outside of the wooden shoe.
 
The inside of the wooden shoe will be drilled out with spoon shaped drills.
 
The woodens shoes will go into a drying chamber for a week. After a week there is only 10% moisture left in the wood.
 
The outside of the wooden shoe will be sanded by a sanding machine.
 
The inside of the wooden shoe will also be sanded. This time with a special sanding machine which can reach the inside of the wooden shoe.
 
Soft brushes will brush the wooden shoes, so no dust is left on the wooden shoes.
 
The wooden shoe will be painted, first a grounding and then a polishing paint.
 
A different way for painting wooden shoes is with an airbrush. After the paint it will be varnished.
 
Between the painting the different layers of paint and varnish will be dried in shelves.
 
Finally, the decorations are applied. This is done by transfers. The transfers will be detached from paper when they are put into water. Then they are applied and will stick on the wooden shoe. They will be varnished for the last time.
 
The wooden shoes are packed into boxes and stored in our warehouse. Ready to be shipped to our customers all over the world.
 
De wooden shoes are presented in the shops.
