Sustainable Timber Policy

We all love trees and so we love furniture, making a fire to keep us warm or to cook our food. While trees may take years to reach the state of harvesting, we as humans needs to be responsible and care for our future and that of our children’s children. We need trees to sustain life while we enjoy their splendour and nature.

Here at the Working with Wood show, all wooden materials that are used during demonstrations, come from off-cut material. Care is taken to sustain trees and our sponsor, Vermont Sales is serious about sustaining and caring for the community.

“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”

"The reverence that the object maker has for the materials, for the shape, and for the miracle of his skill transcends to God, the Master Craftsman, the Creator of all things, who uses us, our hands, as His tools to make these beautiful things."

Sam Maloof - Great Wood Craftsman (1916 -2009)
