NEW GLOUCESTER — At an awards dinner to be held Wednesday, Aug. 13, the Maine Wood Products Association will present its “Pine Tree Award” to Thos. Moser of Auburn and a new “Pine Cone Award” to W.A. Mitchell Fine Furniture of Farmington, both family owned and operated furniture companies.

The Pine Cone Award is given to a company with 15 or fewer employees while the Pine Tree Award is given to a company with more than 15 employees. This is the first year that the award has been given in two categories.

Thos. Moser operates six showrooms located in Freeport, Boston, New York, Greenwich, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

W.A. Mitchell Fine Furniture designs and builds all its handmade furniture in Farmington after having relocated from the smaller town of Temple, home of the company founder, Arthur H. Mitchell. Mitchell furniture has also been featured in catalogs such as L.L.Bean, Orvis, Sturbridge Yankee Workshop and several European furniture catalogs.
