Savage Woodworking maintains a high level of environmental responsibility, not only in our use of recycled wood, but also in the eco friendly products used to finish our hand crafted furniture.
Our shop runs on a low to no V.O.C. policy with regards to all products used, meaning that you can rest assured that your custom built furniture is responsibly crafted, from our use of reclaimed lumber to the final finish. Many of our customers choose to have their furniture finished in a selection of natural oils and waxes as this gives a finish that will stand up to the everyday use of a kitchen table while showing off the wood with a soft depth and luster achieved with layers of hand applied and rubbed finishes.
Our extensive collection of lumber has been sourced from barns, mills and houses, many of these originating from Ontario, where building was done with wide white pine and a selection of hardwoods, including walnut, cherry, elm and oak. Since re-locating to the West coast of Canada, Fred Savage has been adding to his collection with beach salvaged lumber and old growth re-claimed from the cast-offs of the logging industry. All of these methods of obtaining lumber save a portion of the remaining forests of today from being cut.

When lumber is reclaimed from 100-200 year old buildings, it carries the history of its roots in the forest, to the saws used to mill it, to the carpenters who built with it. This history is passed along to you in the stories told through your furniture.
