What is Sustainable Wood Furniture?

Since we are in the furniture business "sustainable wood" is a very important term for us. Vermont Woods Studios was created under the premis that we wanted to make an eco friendly difference, but we wanted to make it locally too. According to Peggy Farabaugh...

"Together we have created a community of eco friendly luxury furniture makers and environmentalists dedicated not only to beauty and quality in our craft, but also to the preservation of our natural environment."

So, with this in mind we only use wood that are from forests that use management principles supported and regulated by the FSC, the Forest Stewardship Council. Sustainable wood is wood that is harvested from carefull managed forests or reclaimed from old buildings or furniture. We also have furniture makers that use reclaimed wood or barnwood for their furniture pieces. One of them is pictured above. These are beautiful high-end furniture pieces where the attention to detail is amazing. If you want to see more of these types of furniture visit our Barnwood Furniture section on our website. You will not be disappointed.

Have eco fun!
