We think that where your wood comes from is just as important a factor as color, grain, hardness and price. For that reason, we list each of our woods with it's "ECOSTATUS" , to help you make good decisions about the qualities of your materials.
FSC CERTIFIED- Wood that comes from forests managed to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council- a third party non-profit organization that maintains the standards for "Sustainable Forestry". The FSC evaluates the long term forest management plans of land owners to assess for ecological and social health.
RESTORATION- Trees harvested in forest eco-system restoration projects designed to reduce the risk of catastrophic wild fires, encouraging wildlife habitat and restoring old-growth forests.
RECLAIMED- Woods which are re-milled or re-used from salvaged barns, mills or other buildings being demolished.
NW NATIVE- Woods which are native to and manufactured within our Northwest Eco-Region. We've worked for years with the non-profit Sustainable Northwest's Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities partnership to encourage ecologically responsible and restorative forestry across our region, on both public and private forest lands.
SALVAGED- Urban and rural trees which are being rescued from the dump, chip mills or firewood to be utilized and appreciated for better valued products.
SELECTIVE REMOVAL- Individual trees removed due to windfall, disease or hazard status.
