Build with Conscience

Iron Woods is committed to the protection and preservation of the world’s timber resources. We work hard to make sure our products are sustainably managed and carry the seals of approval from a wide range of government agencies, sawmills, and foresters from all over the world.

Green by Nature

Sourcing Certainty from Forest to You

Green by Nature, our complete supply chain traceability system, goes above and beyond forest certification. It provides sourcing certainty all the way up our supply chain, from the forest to you.




“Iron Woods’ Green By Nature is an impressive supply chain traceability program. By requiring all international suppliers to pass a rigorous risk assessment, the program fills in the gaps where forest certification is lacking. A model program for the industry, Iron Woods demonstrates leadership in promoting responsible forest management.”



—Evan Bruner, Rain Forest Alliance

We kiln dry or fumigate our products, so they are free from invasive insect or plant species
