Re: What does "green" furniture mean?

First of all. How and why do you feel it is necessary to import wood from Brazil? Have you developed an anti-gravitational devise to ease the shipping process? There is an abundance of wood that is reclaimable here in the states. Economically, I am sure there are farmers and landowners out there stateside who would jump at the chance to get rid of their delapitated barns and make a little bit of spending cash in the process. I know about the wood types available as I have been building furniure or as I like to call it Barniture out of reclaimed wood for the last twenty years. I have gone so far as to build pieces out of wood that I have personally reclaimed and given it to the owner of the previous structure as a memento of their family heritage. Sustainable practices are just that, sustainable practices. Keep the manufacturing "process" stateside. Build it and they will come. I will tell you. I make it a practice to know what I buy and where it originated. I would not purchase your furniture if it was dirt cheap because your furniture is not "made" in the U S of A!
