“We’re far from the paperless ideal envisioned at the dawn of the desktop computing age, but paper and handwritten notes no longer play a central role in our lives. For some, this is a sadness. Taking pen to paper has its own charms, the smell of fresh paper, the tactile feel of the ink ball dragging across paper fiber, and pitfalls, ink-smudged fingers and palms, lost sheets and illegible writing  . . . With its nearly pencil-on-paper writing experience and excellent battery life, the reMarkable tablet could be a godsend for those who truly miss writing and doodling on paper.”

In his latest article, Mashable’s Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff takes a closer look at a new paper alternative, the reMarkable tablet. To read this article and discover an incredible tool for designers, architects, and those of us who simply take a lot of notes, follow the link.

Even if you have the selection of the finishes mastered, you must consider the nuances of each finish when designing your project.  Here are some additional things to keep in mind.

• With the exception of 2-coat finishes, you should design with grain directions in mind. 
• Know the available material width.  In general, most finishes are available in a 62″ width but many of the Specialty Colors and Natural Metals are produced in smaller widths.
• If multiple finishes are used on the project, be sure to properly label or hatch where each finish is located on the architectural drawings.
