It is our duty to encourage
sustainable timber harvesting, particularly in those areas of the world
which receive our monetary aid, The need to improve the quality of life
is paramount and it is only understanding, education and persuasion that
will ensure acceptance of timber as a farmed crop like coffee or rubber.
Representatives have visited forests in many parts of the world. They
have witnessed the selective marking of specimens for felling, seen how,
with good management, felling can be directed to minimise forest floor
damage and how re-planting is implemented. The correctly managed policies
can in fact improve the environment and generate wealth in deprived areas;
it is up to all of us who love wood to actively encourage the research
and development schemes presently underway.

Hand Crafted Timber - A Unique Object
This
product has been made from hand selected timber which has been specially
selected for its unique qualities.
As time passes the timber moves to create its own characteristics, taking
form which cannot be duplicated.
We regularly travel to purchase selected materials, and each bowl
takes a minimum of 4 hours development and treatment. No two items
will ever be the same, produced from sustainable timbers from around the
world.
