Sustainability and sourcing
Black Walnut is imported timber: every lot should come with import papers and a traceable source.
WisutWood uses legal timber, can issue sawn-timber control documents, and kiln-dries to 12% moisture content or less, so the woodwork lasts and does not have to be torn out and replaced.
