THE DRAFTWOOD CATALOGUE:

The Best of Nature from the hands of our skilled craftsmen.

All Draftwood Forest Products are made from trees harvested using DRAFTWOOD Community Certified Restorative Forestry practices.

This means a worst first, single tree selection process that actually improves the living forest as a healthy vibrant ecosystem while addressing human needs for forest products. This work - recently coined as Carbon Positive Forestry - provides a living for the local, ground level practitioners and results in stunning wood products for your home.

In this restorative and truly 'Carbon Positive' model the best, biggest and healthiest trees are left to grow as old and large as possible, thereby sequestering and storing more carbon than the long rotation harvesting practices used in conventional logging.

Carbon Positive Forestry means:

• Less carbon is released during harvesting, because these forest products are extracted using animal power rather than fossil fuel-burning machinery.


• An increase in the site's overall carbon sequestration, because of the growth stimulation created by the removal of the worst trees.


• Carbon is 'locked' and stored in the Draftwood Forest Products in your home, and not released into the atmosphere as it would be if the trees were left to decay or burned or processed conventionally.

Purchasing any Draftwood Forest Product insures your carbon footprint in building or furnishing your home is the smallest, most positive one available today, and it helps support hometown economies in some of our country's poorest areas.

Now you can enjoy the beauty of wood with a clear conscience...
