From Forest to Home: The Goodness of Wood

Wood is not just a material; it's a remarkable gift from nature renowned for its renewability, recyclability, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Beyond its tangible attributes, did you know that wood can contribute to your overall well-being?

Numerous studies have revealed that incorporating wood into your living or working environment can have positive effects on your health, fostering a sense of relaxation and tranquility. The US EPA found that wood in our living spaces can dial down stress levels, boost relaxation, and amp up attention and creativity.

SUSTAINABILITY AT ITS CORE

The beauty of wood extends beyond its immediate use. Responsibly sourced wood is a beacon of sustainability. When harvested with care, forests regenerate, providing a myriad of benefits such as carbon storage, oxygen generation, and the preservation of vital habitats.

Whiskey Age Co. prioritizes sustainability. Our commitment is evident in our choice to use hardwood sourced from sustainable and well-managed forests in the US. For over three decades, our Colorado-based manufacturer has been crafting high-quality wood products with dedication to environmental responsibility.

THE DISTINCTIVE CHARACTER OF SPECIES

Each type of wood brings its own unique character to the table. Cherry wood, for example, undergoes a beautiful transformation over time, displaying a spectrum of colors that can vary significantly from tree to tree and even among different boards from the same tree. Starting as a light golden/pink tone, it matures into a rich, reddish-brown hue when exposed to light.

On the other hand, walnut, the only dark wood native to North America, possesses a distinctive quality. Contrary to other woods like cherry, maple, and oak that darken with age, walnut wood actually lightens slightly over time.

EMBRACING THE UNIQUENESS

Just as no two fingerprints are alike, the wood grain in each of our products is distinctive and unique. We celebrate the individuality of each piece, acknowledging that natural materials may exhibit subtle color variations and minor imperfections. It's these nuanced differences that contribute to the charm of each item, making it truly one of a kind.

Wood goes beyond being just a material; it is a companion to our well-being, a sustainable choice for the planet, and a canvas for showcasing the individuality of nature. We invite you to experience the beauty and uniqueness of wood in our carefully crafted products, where sustainability meets style.
