For cabinetmakers who want a traditional look but with modern hardware, one of the exhibitors at Wood Pro Expo Lancaster has an answer.

EuroButt-II adds a faux butt hinge barrel design element to cabinets. That allows cabinetmakers who use or want to use modern concealed hinge hardware to have a traditional butt hinge look, according to Birdie Miller, a custom furniture and cabinetmaker who is inventor of the EuroButt-II and owner of the company.

“EuroButt II is excited to take part in the 2017 Wood Pro Expo Show in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” said Miller. “Please plan to visit our booth 223 at the Wood Pro Expo Show.”

EuroButt-II faux hinges come in a variety of styles and finishes.

Miller’s unusual hardware is just one of the technologies available from the exhibitors in the sold-out exposition space featuring 41 exhibiting companies. The event also features keynote addresses and conference opportunities.

The Wood Pro Expo will be held October 19 - 20 at the Lancaster Host Expo and Conference Center. Floor registration is $20. A woodworking educational series of eight sessions are scheduled, covering business management and wood fabrication topics, including finishing and lean management. Individual sessions cost $45, and a two-day package provides admission to three sessions for $75.
