The Environment

As responsible citizens, we need to do what we can to protect our environment. Using reclaimed timber is a contribution we can make today.

Aficionados of great wood know that the best quality of timber comes from old growth trees. Left to age naturally, these antique woods are rich in grain and color, with a structural integrity and beauty often lacking in wood from young fast growth trees.

But old growth timber typically comes from ancient forests, an endangered and precious resource. Using reclaimed timber helps to maintain and preserve our forests, especially old growth forests.

Also, unsustainable forest management causes massive soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. This hurts the economic future of communities around the world. Markets for new timber strain our forests, but using reclaimed wood offers compelling social and economic benefits.
