Years of Collection

The slow cure process maintains the appearance, the color, and the integrity of the fibers throughout the depth of the trees heart. The lumber stock of a woodworker identifies the connection to the material. It identifies the truth & harmony. The complete care of the raw material by which a craftsman exists proves the respect that is so well deserved.
