💡 Did You Know?
Reclaimed wood is often denser and more stable than new lumber because it comes from slow-grown old trees and has already dried for decades. It also reduces landfill waste and logging—while giving you a strong, beautiful surface built to last. 🌲✨

Great furniture doesn’t start with perfect boards. Knots, nail holes, and salvage marks tell a story—and makers use them to create warm, modern, sustainable designs. Imperfections aren’t flaws. They’re the point.

Did you know?
Even fine furniture moves.

Wood expands with humidity + contracts as air dries.
Steel doesn’t.

That’s why makers build microscopic “breathing space” into joints—smaller than a credit card—to keep everything seamless for years.
