Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you get your materials?

We strive to use wood that is both beautiful and sustainable—bringing good karma to our workbench and passing it along to our clients. Our hardwoods are carefully selected within the sustainably-harvested hardwood markets, whether it be from locally source walnut from Chico, CA, to maturing sustainability farms in Costa Rica. Our softwoods often come from even closer to home, with reclaimed wood from dismantled boat houses and piers on Lake Tahoe, as well as gathered deadwood from our backyards (when seasonally permitted).

What makes Roundwood a conscious company?

We believe that being a conscious company is much more than simply sourcing our materials responsibly and avoiding polluting the earth with toxic materials. Our work reconnects humanity with the wondrous and wise voice of the wilderness by bringing its song thru incredible twisting grain & vibrant natural luster directly into the lives and living rooms of our clients.

What is “Heirloom Quality”?

Heirloom Quality means furniture that has the structural integrity to stand the test of time and be passed on from one generation to the next. We believe all of our art to be “heirloom quality,” especially when cared for properly.

How should I care for my Roundwood furniture?

Roundwood furniture is functional art, meaning, it is meant to be used. It’s strong blind joinery and epoxy infused construction will easily outlive you and I, as well as our children to come. Nevertheless, our furniture is made of wood, and should be treated with proper respect. That means avoiding abuses such as water damage, extreme temperatures, serious falls and sharp objects. While not fatal, these damages are usually very costly and time consuming to repair.

Apart from these more serious cautions, we recommend that you periodically apply a moderate amount of lemon oil to revitalize the finish. Simply wipe it on and watch as the luster of the wood grain returns. For regular cleaning, such as cleaning up spills, use a mild, non-corrosive, natural cleaning agent.

Over time, you may notice the clear coat finish on your artwork beginning to age. This is a natural process that occurs as a result of normal wear, UV exposure, relative humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Maintaining that finish is the responsibility of the owner. Feel free to ask us or do your own research to learn how to maintain your clear coat finish.

What’s the significance of the Three Dot Inlay?
