Earthquake Ousts Western Dovetail Mare Island, CA — The recent earthquake in the Napa Valley, CA area partially destroyed the Mare Island, CA location of cabinet drawer manufac- turer Western Dovetail, Inc. T he building that houses the company has been red- tagged for demolition as it is no longer safe. According to brothers and business par tners Max and Josh Hunter, they were allowed three short extraction opportu- nities, escorted by ofcials, to salvage what they could from their business. "We did it like a revolving door, tag team, with three trucks, going in, flling up, going out and unloading and going back in, reported Max Hunter to the Vallejo Times Herald. They were able to rescue fn- ished products, materials and some equipment, but retrieval of other equipment will take planning and permission to go back inside, he reported. Western Dovetail is currently op- erating out of Dimensions Unlimited, one of their customer's companies. The brothers are hoping to relocate on the island, though they had no earthquake insurance and the move alone is going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They hope to raise about $100,000 to set up a new shop. For information, visit www. drawer.com. w w w.
