Commitment to Sustainable Forestry Practices:

In September of 2003 we at Cotswold Furniture Makers made a commitment to use at least 70% sustainably harvested lumber in the construction of our furniture. To that end we became “SmartWood Certified”, and a link in a “Chain of Custody”, which starts with the forester and ends with you, the owner of our furniture.

The certified lumber in your furniture can be traced right back to where it was logged, and you can be assured that it was cut with the long term health of the forest in mind. This system is run locally by SmartWood, who are a non-profit certifier accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). FSC is a world-wide, non-profit, non-government organization committed to the on-going health of the earth’s forests.
