The Certified Custom Woodworkers Association (CCWA) announces the launch of a new Web site, meant to be a resource to specifiers, general contractors, facility managers and end-users in the architectural millwork industry.

Located at www.ccwaonline.org, the site includes a LEED and millwork section that explains how architectural millwork and cabinetry projects affect various divisions in the LEED scoring system. There also is an interactive directory that allows visitors to locate a CCWA contractor with just a few clicks of the mouse. A solutions section addresses veneers, design issues, wood species, substrates and installation issues.
