We only use food safe natural oil and wax finishes that are hypoallergenic.  These oils are made from organic seeds and other plant based byproducts.  No toxic solvents containing heavy metals or other harsh chemicals are ever used on any of our products.

For most of our pieces, it's just the natural color of the wood highlighted by the natural oil and wax.  However some of our products are dyed using a natural water based dying process and we clearly state that in the title of each product.  All others colors are naturally occurring!  Our dyeing process that we use is 100% natural and non toxic.  Once dyed we apply our same two step natural oil / wax finish for protection and to fully encapsulate the dyed surface as well as highlight the colors and grain of the wood.

We love Titanium and you should too!  Here's why, its completely inert, its used for surgical procedures because it will not interact with the human body, and it's stronger than any other material generally used for findings, so it will last a lifetime!  Sure its definitely harder to work than using cheap findings from the craft store and without a doubt more expensive, but we think you're worth it!  Plus as a bonus it can be anodized in a rainbow of colors!

Absolutely not!  All of our hardwoods that we use are ethically sourced from suppliers locally or across the globe that only sell sustainably harvested lumber.  A lot of our materials are harvested from the trees on or near my property in Michigan or from cut offs and excess stock of larger projects of friends and fellow woodworkers.  Rest assured we love trees and are doing our part to ensure we leave as small of a environmental footprint as possible.
