Ever wonder how we get our Cocobolo?

Selective cutting is designated by forestry officials and woods are removed by permit only

Trees are measured to calculate the highest yield per cut and to not waste these valuable tropical woods
Careful harvesting is practiced to not damage surrounding areas,

local young growth of trees

and to allow successful replanting of seedlings

Choice logs are gathered and prepared to be sent to our sawmill

Wood is again cut carefully to ensure the maximum yield, and quality milling is accomplished through learned skills and old but efficient equipment.

Woods is then selected, and prepared for the trip up to our warehouse in California

Turn of the century Hawaiian style surboard made out of a parota slab

Board is now in Mitch's Dining Room, maybe one day he will let Marty take out in the water...

Piece by our customer John Fry

John Fry is furniture builder in North Los Angeles. He built this commissioned piece with wood that he purchased from us. It is an Asian Striped Ebony and Wenge "drum" table that was made with all bent lamination construction. He resawed the striped Asian ebony into 1/16" veneers and vac press laminated them on a form. Always great to see our woods once the projects are finished
