We create our products using natural woods from FSC approved suppliers around the world. Chosen for their texture, strength, beauty, complexity, dimension, and simplicity, the unique characteristics of wood is the source of our inspiration.
Our Wood Selection
The infinite variations in wood, and the complexity of the combinations, make it difficult to impossible for Gregg to duplicate a pattern. This is most apparent with pepper mills and salt grinders – unless they are ordered as a set, their patterns will be similar but not identical.
The characteristics of wood can be drastically affected by ambient surroundings. For instance, changes in temperature and humidity can change the dimensional properties of the wood significantly. Increases in temperature or humidity causes wood to expand, while decreases cause contraction. And, since every wood is different, it is affected differently by these changing conditions.
Unfortunately, you can’t control Mother Nature. But, with proper care of your wood products, you can minimize her effects.
- Avoid significant changes in your rooms’ temperatures or humidity
