Our History

OUR LIVE EDGE WOOD IS AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF INDIGENOUS SPECIES THAT IS INDIVIDUALLY SELECTED THROUGHOUT THE LANDSCAPE OF THE UNITED STATES.

THESE TREES SPAN FROM DECADES TO CENTURIES IN AGE. THE NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF EACH PIECE OF WOOD, COLOR, TEXTURE AND GRAIN, REFLECT THEIR OWN PERSONALITY.

THE FORM AND LINES OF A TREE ARE CAREFULLY EXAMINED BEFORE MILLING. IT’S LIKE CUTTING A DIAMOND, ALTHOUGH WE USE MUCH MORE SCALE. THE TAILORING OF SLABS, CROSS CUTS, AND TOTEMS IS A TIMELY PROCESS.

NATURAL AIR DRYING SOMETIMES TAKES YEARS DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE WOOD. MOISTURE CONTENT IS CAREFULLY MONITORED WHEN KILN DRYING AND STERILIZATION IS NEEDED.
