Our Natural Materials

 

We believe the beauty of nature can be enjoyed in everyday things. That's why we use natural materials in our craft. We are passionate about showcasing the beauty of nature by using materials that come from the Earth.



HARDWOOD

Instead of composite materials or plywood, we use solid native hardwoods for all of our projects, with quality in mind. Our wood is sourced as locally as possible, sometimes from our own backyards! But for the wood we can't forage, we source from Ohio Amish Country. Each piece is hand-selected, and best of all, it's sourced and processed ethically and sustainably from responsibly managed forests. 


ABALONE SHELL

Abalone are sea creatures with multiple claims to fame. Their meat is renowned as a culinary delicacy, while their shells are famous for that colorful, iridescent shine! And because people love to eat abalone just as much as they love to wear it, the shells are largely a byproduct of the abalone food industry. 

Our abalone shells are sourced from the shores of New Zealand. The shell are processed into veneer sheets that can be easily worked with and cut to size. That's really all there is to it!
