“The woodworker is telling us that the spec log won’t work."
“Our control sample can’t be matched. The sample is old and the wood has changed color.”
“The selected log isn’t long enough and now we have to redesign and add a break point that compromises the design.”
“The species we selected isn’t being sliced anymore and now we have to re-select and re-open this issue with our client.”
“We picked our wood from a laminate or wall covering sample and we’re now being told that it doesn’t exist in real wood.”
“We’re being forced to approve a change order because now we need the wood stained and the spec didn’t include that. Our sample said “natural finish” so we didn’t think we’d need a stain.”
