WOOD LAST BLANKS PRODUCTION

Processing procedure

For the production of wooden shoe last blanks, Legnoform in Calizzano, Savona Province, follows a process that involves several stages: sectioning, roughing, steaming, and drying.

Sectioning is carried out by cutting the log into commercially sized cylinders.

Roughing is performed by skilled craftsmen to preserve the wood's characteristics, carefully sectioning it with the best cutting and rhythm, excluding any defects or imperfections.

After this stage, the process moves on to steaming, which removes agents responsible for wood degradation.

Finally, the drying process begins, gradually narrowing the wood's pores until they are almost completely closed. This greatly slows down moisture reabsorption.
