A REVERENCE FOR WOOD
by Teresa Bell
There is a special appreciation for the unique qualities of wood
among those of our craft. One cannot fashion a piece of wood
into fine cabinetry, furniture, or paneling without developing
an admiration for the unique pattern of the grain, the rich
color revealed through the finishing process, and the singular
expression that the character of each piece of wood lends to the
project.
As he ran a worn hand over the smooth surface of his latest
undertaking, one old woodworker aptly described it as a “reverence
for wood.”
Accordingly, we also place high value on this precious natural
resource and are committed to the responsible management of
that resource.
We encourage the use of wood that is sourced from under-utilized
species as part of the solution, as well as the use of recycled and
low-VOC products.
We support the use of responsible forest management practices
to conserve this valuable resource for the future.
