As a certified environmental planner, I’ve dedicated my career and business life to environmental sustainability and urban planning. The energy of music, culture, art, history and the deep love for the environment has been foundational in our family and the idea of building beautiful, heirloom instruments that carry those core beliefs forward...set the path for Storywood. I play a large part in the sourcing process to make sure we find excellent reclaimed and salvaged wood that is as sustainable as possible, and use green finishing products and processes. Even more important, I make sure that we know the source and the story behind the wood we use, and we document and share those stories with our customers.We have committed to using 100% reclaimed and salvaged wood in StoryWood guitars - body AND neck. The wood is many decades old in most cases, allowing us to essentially build new-vintage instruments. We feel this is the only way to do it, and the results speak for themselves.We believe in preservation, conservation and sustainable futures. StoryWood only uses reclaimed wood that has been recovered due to demolition or risk of decay. We do not support the destruction of restorable structures and believe that history and habitat should always first be preserved. We donate a percentage from every sale to organizations with similar missionswww.storywoodmusic.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/storywood-music/https://www.facebook.com/Storywoodmusic/
