Wood is made of carbon. Trees convert carbon dioxide into long chain polymers called lignin,hemicellulose and cellulose – the hidden structure of wood, releasing the by-product oxygen on the way for us to breathe.This storage of carbon helps give wood based construction products some of the lowest environmental impacts and best environmental product declarations (EPD) available.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. ~Louis Nizer (1902–1994)
