One of the most exciting parts of our business is searching for new and interesting sources of wood to reclaim. Over the years we have developed an international network of suppliers for our raw materials. These raw materials range from cedar cider tanks from Pennsylvania, Douglas fir timbers from Washington apartments, gymnasium seats from Oregon, tropical hardwood railway sleepers from Southeast Asia, industrial warehouses from South America or redwood beams and wine tanks from California. TerraMai’s inventories are always changing and growing as we locate new sources.
We source worldwide, directed by the needs of our customers and the search for places where wood is still not being fully utilized. We go to places where old rosewood is being burned for crematorium fuel, old Douglas fir is being chipped up for mulch or old mahogany is being made into livestock pens. We take these overlooked woods and create superior, durable products that delight our customers and eliminate the need to cut new trees.
