Mt Baker Products has been a premier manufacturer of Hardwood Plywood since the 1930's. To make our panels, layers of veneer need to be hand-loaded into a multi-opening press. While modern methods are certainly safer and more efficient, it's still the same basic process today. It takes skill and strength to do the job well, and we're willing to train you to do it right!
Overtime potential, including on Saturdays, may be expected.
