RAINEY MILLWORKS - Continued from page 24
This Oak curved staircase catches sunlight from a large window.
while Poplar is favored for mouldings, baseboards and door trim. Oak is a good,
stainable clear-cut wood. Poplar takes paint better and also handles machining
better.” Rainey uses Sapele because it has the same rich reddish-brown hue as
Mahogany, but is more easily available. “Today’s plantation-grown Mahogany
doesn’t have the same rich red color that the native Mahogany does,” Rainey
explained. “It’s more of a pale pink.”
Rainey said most of the millwork is sold to builders mainly in the Southeastern
United States, with Rainey Millworks installing most cabinets and delivering the
other products to the job sites. But there have been some exceptions to the rule.
“Our cabinets, a kitchen island and countertops were installed inside a house in
Edmonton, AB. Sapele, Maple and White Oak were the hardwoods of choice for
that job,” said Rainey.
Rainey Millworks’ products can be found in some unique places. One project
that Rainey is proud of is a wine room that was crafted for a customer in Bay St.
Louis, MS. Up to 1,700 wine bottles can be held by the 12-foot-tall shelves that
are reachable by a 7-foot-tall library ladder that rolls around the room. Also notable
is a pair of curved Oak staircases that were crafted for the mother of the late
NFL great Steve McNair. A Birdseye Elm slab was transformed into a desktop for
another customer.
Rainey founded the operation after spending his childhood learning about the
Cypress was used to construct these double doors.
construction industry from his father, who was a general contractor. Rainey spent
summers helping his dad on construction sites whenever a subcontractor needed
a helper or when the crew was short-staffed for laborers. He learned roofing,
bricklaying and drywall installation among other skills. The early training helped
Rainey decide he wanted to be involved in the industry. Gaining experience in
many segments of the industry, he said, “Building and installing cabinets and
millwork is like the Cadillac of jobs in this industry. You’re never out in the sun
and you never get rained on.”
