Real wood blinds as the name indicates are made from basswood or other hardwoods. The process begins with the harvesting of the trees, primarily in the northeast. The wood is cut, kiln-dried, sanded, stained or painted, and then finishes are applied. When the wood is received at the assembly factory, they are in bundles of various lengths. The stained wood varies in color based on the shipment. Dealing with the variety of lengths and dye lots, there is an increase in costs and waste.
