Locally Sourced Wood

April 2, 2015 Melanie Abrantes

Taking the time to locally source my wood is a lot of work. I drive out sometimes 30 miles looking for the correct kind of wood, a full days work at times! I make sure to ask where my wood is from, hand selecting each board of domestic lumber for my products.

I really try to keep a conscious mind on the carbon footprint of my goods. With so many things to buy out there in the world, its hard sometimes to think that I am adding on that running list of items. With being able to support local, I am in my own way helping out this little economy and letting you know where your wood comes from!
