How It's Made

We have many trees on the 20 acre property that can be used. Any logs in good condition are milled, and the rest is used for firewood. The hayloft floor in this barn was built using aspen trees that were dying, allowing us to plant saplings in their place. Our favorite trees to repopulate with are shagbark hickory, sugar maples, cherry and oaks.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while they are alive. By ensuring our trees are turned into long-lived use products like furniture, we're able to help extend the time carbon is stored well beyond the natural life cycle of a tree.

Our manufacturing cycle has an extremely low carbon footprint. Since we're utilizing trees on the same property as the sawmill and woodshop, there is no environmental impact from trucking supplies to each location. A piece of lumber you purchase from the big box store likely will have been taken from the forest, trucked to a sawmill, sent to a kiln for drying, shipped to the company distribution center, and put back on a truck to your local store.

We had trees damaged in a summer storm falling directly on our road - made for a quick and easy harvest with no shipping required!
