Sustainable Forest Wood products
The wood we use for engraving our products comes from sustainable forests.
The majority of the wood Unique Custom Products uses for manufacturing custom wood products comes from the Appalachian Mountains and the Cascade Mountains. Both mountain ranges have been Verified as Sustainable. There is actually more harvestable lumber today than there was 100 years ago.
The Appalachian Hardwood Forest grows: Oak, Maple, Cherry, Walnut. For every tree that is harvested in the 344 county Appalachian Region, 2.29 more trees are growing. This research was released by the US Forest Service.
See this web site for more on the statistics: www.appalachianhardwood.info
Our Ultimate Green Wood comes from Northern Colorado. It is the blue stain pine also referred to as beetle kill pine. It is recycled wood from trees harvested off the forest floor. The wood has been kiln dried and can be made into any of our many engravable products.
