A local, sustainable alternative to tropical hardwoods, Black Locust excels in a variety of exterior applications. Our Slate treatment enhances the natural durability of the wood with a barrier against the elements and accelerates a consistent silver patina across exposure conditions.
Harvested from Northeast forests in coordination with sustainable management plans that support long-term forest health and biodiversity.
Impact
Timber from regenerative forestry practices in regional working forests supports clean water, clean air, and habitat for wildlife.
