How are wood hanger hooks made?

　　To understand the beauty and strength of wood hanger hooks, you must know the path taken by a single log to become thousands of wooden hangers. From choosing the right wood type to sanding and pairing with the perfect hook, we follow a simple and time-consuming process.

　　But first... a brief history of hangers

　　When Hanger Store was founded in 1915, the world became very different. Less than half of American households have electricity. Henry Ford's revolutionary car assembly line is only one or two years old. This is a transitional period for almost every industry, from using simple hand tools and basic machines to produce goods to using larger quantities and more efficient machines—wire magazine holders.

　　By this time, the hanger has been around for a while. Some historians believe that Thomas Jefferson invented the wooden hanger. Our prolific former president and founding father also invented invisible beds and clumsy waiters.

　　But today's consensus is that a man named OA North designed a space-saving hook in the 1860s, which was the pioneer of modern clothes hangers. From then on, until 1903, this basic wire hook took a step forward. That year, a man named Albert Parkhouse created what we now call a hanger, by bending some wires to create a suspension device, in response to colleagues complaining about the lack of clothes and hats in the factory where they work Hook situation.

　　Wood species

　　Looking back at the era of the Industrial Revolution, goods at that time were made of high-quality old-fashioned elbow grease and easy-to-use machinery. Today's wooden hangers are made by mixing the power of people and machines. They are produced by thousands of people, but still retain the elements of handmade craftsmanship.

　　Of course, like any wooden object, the hanger starts with a tree. These days wood hanger hooks can be made of various woods, such as:

　　oak

　　maple

　　walnut

　　cedar

　　bamboo

　　The wood hanger hooks in the hanger store are never made of old or endangered wood. We use the above-mentioned woods because they are rich, short fibers give the wood strength, and do not produce too much sap. This makes these forests easier to use.
