Sawdust Facts

Our wood products are made from trees grown in New England (more specifically, within 50 miles or less of Peterborough, NH), felled individually by hand and leaving barely a trace of disturbance on the forest floor. They are then milled into lumber by the woodworker himself, and air-dried for years, if not decades. Properly air-dried lumber preserves the natural beauty of the grain and wood color. Some trees cut by others have been acquired through word of mouth - for instance when a mature walnut was taken down for a planned solar array. It doesn’t get any more sustainable than that. Recycled lumber is occasionally repurposed, such as an antique, orphaned mahogany table leaf, re-shaped as the top of a tripod table.

Sawdust swept from the floor ignites the fires in our woodstove and nourishes our gardens and woodlot.
