Our Commitment to Sustainability
We believe that sustainable practices are the foundation of responsible craftsmanship that can stand the test of time. That's why we're proud to include "new old stock" and "reclaimed lumber", as well as industrial offcuts, in our woodworking projects. Plus, we have solar panels on site to power our shop and reduce our environmental impact. From start to finish, we're committed to minimizing our carbon footprint and preserving our planet's natural resources.
