RUGGED BY NATURE
HEART OF EASTERN RED CEDAR PENDANT
My new line 'Rugged by Nature! Earth Day inspired recycled wood pendants.
Handcrafted out of, none other, than my two favorite types of wood to work with;
Mountain Laurel and Eastern Red Cedar
Harvested from old growth fallen trees on the land we will call our permanent home in the near future.
Reclaimed, recovered, recycled, rediscovered and reused are all terms that I refer to wood that has been given a new lease on life.
Environmentally reclaimed woods to me is the obvious choice, because using them replaces the need to harvest new timber. The wood is already out there, it's just a matter of finding it, cleaning it, and working with it.
I find that using reclaimed wood is definitely worth the extra effort, since many of these woods have more richness of grain, color, and character.
Some of the best quality wood comes from old-growth trees. Old growth timber is harder, denser, and more stable than wood from young trees.
