Salvaged Wood
All of our woods are salvaged, which means they are scraps and leftover waste from
industrial processes like hardwood door manufacturers, flooring installers, and guitar
makers, lumber from hurricane and tornado salvage, city trees being removed, and
fallen backyard trees.  It brings us great joy to breathe new life into these woods
that were otherwise headed towards a landfill or wood chipper.

FSC Certified Wood
We also purchase much of our wood from a lumber retailer that specializes in the
sales of wood certified by the
Forest Stewardship Council.  This includes tropical
hardwoods from community managed forests in Mexico and Guatemala as well as
domestic hardwoods from family-owned plantations here in the U.S.  The FSC
certification process is the best tool we have to ensure that our forests and
plantations are managed in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner
thereby supporting the health of communities and promoting biodiversity.  Our goal
is to create unique, hand-crafted furniture that you are proud of and that feels good.
