All of our lumber comes directly from Single Harvested Trees from New England Forests.
For over half a century Lundia USA has been manufactured using solid Hemlock for our frames and Ponderosa Pine for our shelves. After years of consideration and research, we are proud to announce that all Lundia verticle surfaces (Frames, cross rails, drawer fronts, doors) are now made out of beautiful Hardwood Solid Maple. All of our shelves are now made out of premium White Pine. As always, it is REAL SOLID WOOD with the same incredible modularity!

Sustainable harvesting can be defined as a method of harvesting that provides a constant supply of wood resources throughout the landscape, with future timber yields unaffected or improved by current harvesting methods. ... Foresters emulate natural disturbances with their harvesting methods to maintain these balances.
Our lumber is harvested in these forests using "Single Tree Selection". Typically, the harvest is only 2 to 4 trees that are hand selected per acre of forest. This is the most responsible method of harvesting trees. In addition to protecting the forest, this type of forestry also protects wildlife. For example, Trees are inspected for wildlife before selection. Trees are never harvested if they contain nests. Excessive bird droppings (White Wash) marking the bowl or ground around the tree are examples of nest indicators. Harvesting by Single Tree Selection, the "Light Touch" has maintained a sustained balance between vegetation and wildlife not found using more intensive methods to harvest trees.

Our Single Tree Harvest being cut at our Mill to go into Lundia Production:

• Improved tree growth: Removing a tree creates space and resources for surrounding trees, leading to more vigorous growth.
• Increased diversity: By creating canopy gaps, single tree selection encourages the regeneration of a mix of young and old trees and supports various species, including those that are shade-intolerant.
• Enhanced wildlife habitat: Opening the canopy allows more sunlight to reach the forest floor, which fosters the growth of shrubs and berries that provide food and shelter for many animals.
• Soil health: While it can cause some soil disturbance, when done carefully, single tree selection can maintain soil quality and biological activity similar to an unmanaged forest.
• Low visual impact: The removal of individual trees has a less dramatic impact on the forest's appearance compared to methods like clear-cutting.
