Hardwood – wood derived from broad-leaved, deciduous trees that reproduce using flowers and seeds.

Hardwood has a dense, complex structure and slow growth rate, it is highly durable, wear-resistant, and commonly used for premium, long-lasting products such as furniture, flooring, musical instruments, home decor and functional art.

The wood can vary extensively in terms of color and grain among other features with many of the ‘exotics’ being used to make items attractive but also carrying a significant cost overhead. Because of this Hardwood Crafts sources all of its wood from locally harvested trees. It is also typically sustainable with landowners milling fallen trees to manage their forests.
