Category: Wood

Wood Haven is working hard to make sure the material you purchase is as eco-friendly… as possible. We push species that grow in amazing abundance right here in America or are responsibly harvested in other parts of the world. However, we also value transparency and if it is from a farmed source we want you to know that and we won’t ever call it 100% “green” or “eco-friendly”!

Kiln dried wood refers to any species of wood that has been kiln dried in a large commercial oven (kiln). With a kiln, you can control the environment such as temperature, humidity, and steam levels for a set period of time. This allows you to dry wood to the desired moisture content faster than air-drying.

With our passion for eco-friendly wood construction, we often get questions if a certain wood species we carry at Wood Haven is ‘sustainable’ (read why we don’t love that term). Is it certified? licensed? inspected? etc. Many of our wood species are available as FSC certified, but we also go beyond a sticker or tag and learn about not just the wood and its source - but the team harvesting & distributing it.
