We have taken every precaution to ensure that our wood comes from renewable resources and not from endangered areas.  Exotic woods have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.  Our domestic suppliers are aware of and sensitive to the public outcry against damaging our earth any further.  They contract only with sources who manage forests as a renewable cash crop, which can provide invaluable jobs and resources in poverty-stricken areas such as the American Appalachians.
