A huge source of apprehension for those concerned with forestry issues: the illegal exploitation of natural forests. The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) has gone to great lengths to address this problem. They ensure that wood bearing the mark "FSC Certified" was harvested under all applicable laws and treaties. Those flying the FSC banner are assured to be honest and environmentally friendly.

As a customer concerned with environment, social, and forestry issues, purchasing island legs made with FSC Certified wood simply makes sense. It showcases that concern and demonstrates a willingness to get involved. FSC wood is a statement of concerned citizens -- those who wish to maintain high standards and healthy forests.

When purchasing island legs, corbels and other wood kitchen components made from FSC wood, it is essential to know you are getting wood from a FSC certified wood supplier. These individuals have gone to great lengths to make sure that the wood their customers receive is of the utmost quality while meeting high environmental regulations.

FSC certified wood guarantees that products made from wood are built with great consideration for the environment. So, when a customer orders products in an FSC Certified wood type from Osborne Wood Products, the customer can know that they are ordering wood that - from the moment it stood in the forest to the moment it is shipped from our facility - has been harvested, milled, and assembled in ways that promote reforestation and responsible forest stewardship, and are generally eco-friendly.

Kitchen island legs, table legs, corbels, wood brackets and other FSC certified products can be easily incorporated into your kitchen or furniture. Cabinetmakers, custom builders, and furniture makers can all appreciate the wholesomeness of FSC. It means producing islands, tables, and other items with FSC wood means customers receive a more environmentally friendly product.

One small purchase may seem insignificant. But every great journey begins with a single step. By purchasing a product made of FSC components, you and other conservation-minded individuals are helping forest workers and communities maintain workers' rights, as well as social and economic well being. By purchasing FSC Certified wood, you, the customer, provide job security, and hope for communities whose main source of income is maintenance of natural forests around the world.

When FSC wood products are purchased, the customer is not simply receiving a higher quality of wood, they are receiving a product that reaches beyond their purchase. FSC wood customers are reaching needs far beyond their jurisdiction: they are literally helping those all over the world. FSC customers are helping preserve forests, guarantee jobs, and maintain a healthier environment.
