It’s All About Wood
Wood is the most magnificent building product in history and the only commonly used building material to have a life of its own.
Within its intricate woodgrain patterns is the history of living trees left behind like coded messages from the past. If you know what to look for you can see droughts and times of abundant rain. You can find traces of local soils and remnants of sunny days long gone.
We have studied wood for over 40 years and have learned about the intricacies of buying wood perfectly suited to every individual job. We can recommend the right species and sap content to serve as a canvas to the finisher’s touch.
For example, there are distinct differences in trees harvested from different locations around the globe. The same is true of trees harvested in different growth years and different places. There is even a place in Germany where the finest veneer logs are grown. We’ve spent a lifetime learning things like these about trees.
Every wood plank or veneer tells the story of a family of trees, and can be finished to tell your family’s unique story, as well. But only if you know where to start and how to finish.
