It is proposed that the manufacture of solid wood furniture be organized in a reconstructed machining workshop of the Arkhangelsk Plywood Factory furniture plant in Novodvinsk. Reconstruction involves installing modern and domestic equipment, to permit the efficient manufacture of either currently-produced furniture or new furniture types. A bedroom set was chosen as the furniture of interest. The bedroom set consists of a double bed, a folding wardrobe, a chest of drawers and two bed-side tables. According to a market survey conducted in Arkhangelsk, Severodvinsk and Novodvinsk 156 sets of bedroom furniture should be produced to fill the market and meet the requirements of customers. Capital investments of the proposed reconstruction in total come to 1350,000 rubles, with a net profit of 1400,000 rubles: payback period is 13,5 months. This means that the project is economically viable. In the research section of the explanatory note, experiments to determine deformations emerging in glulam made from a combination of pine and spruce lamellas under conditions of variable humidity are described. Results indicate that the deformation of the uniform structure panel is less pronounced than that of the combined panel. The degree of deformation can be reduced when a protective coating is applied.
