Our Sourcing Ethics

At Wyrmwood we are unequivocally committed to preserving our forests across the world.

Wyrmwood sources diverse woods from across the globe. Our unwavering commitment to ethical wood sourcing remains essential to delivering exceptional, well-crafted products.

Protect and Preserve

We have a proud history of working with partners in the conservation field, directly supporting crucial conservation and reforestation efforts.

Work with the Market

The sale of exotic woods supports local economies, creating economic incentive to continue growing these species, rather than clear them.

Craft Conscientiously

We strive to consume less lumber through efficient practices, minimizing waste. We also actively try to repurpose much of our unavoidable scrap.

A Delicate Balance

Wyrmwood takes a multi-pronged approach to sustainability that we believe will result in lasting, positive impact. To focus only on conservation means that local populations can’t sell lumber, and in that situation they may clear out threatened species to plant trees and crops with more economic value to them. However, to go to the opposite extreme will result in reckless deforestation, and overharvesting, causing vulnerable species to become further endangered.

By contributing to conservation efforts and reforestation, while also offering our customers the opportunity to purchase goods crafted from exotic materials, we do our best to incentivize and protect the continued growth of these species.

Stewardship & Responsibility

We strive to limit our impact, and recognize the value of these rare and beautiful materials. While Wyrmwood offers rare and exotic woods, we source our materials from ethical, reputable sellers, never knowingly purchasing timber of questionable or suspect origin.

We strive to reduce our waste and work efficiently, getting the most out of the material we have, and repurposing waste materials where possible to further limit our environmental impact.

We offer customers choices, so they can purchase according to their conscience. For those that prefer not to own exotic woods, there are many domestic choices, including those made entirely from materials salvaged during our production process.

For more details on this, see our listing of materials below.

Nonprofit Partners

Wyrmwood has partnered with a variety of organizations over the years to promote and support worthy causes. A few of these organizations are listed below. In some cases partnerships are ongoing over long periods of time, while in others they are limited to specific products or promotions, but we are proud to help these groups in making a difference.

Wyrmwood works with a variety of species, most of which are in no way threatened or endangered. Some of the exotic woods we use, however, are more rare. We allow our clients the choice of whether or not to purchase these materials. We urge any client that feels conflicted about the trade of exotic woods to avoid these, and to choose one of the options on the “least concern” list above, which signifies that there is currently no concern over their sustainability. We will update this list periodically, should our offerings or the status of various species change.
