*Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Lynden Door's 400,000 square foot facility is FSC Chain of Custody certified.

Additionally, Lynden Door can now offer FSC-certified reconstituted veneers in the following faux species:
  • Cherry
  • Ebony
  • Fir
  • Mahogany
  • Maple
  • White oak
  • Teak
  • Walnut
  • Wenge
  • Zebrawood
Created using abundant species (or plantation-grown timber) reconstituted veneers are prized by designers for their uniformity. "Recon" pricing is especially strong in varieties that replace exotic tropicals like Wenge, Zebrawood, Ebony and Teak.

LDI doors can be perfectly matched with cabinetry or casegoods clad with identical reconstituted veneers.

Marine salvaged timber from the PANAMA CANAL




                   












                                                                    
I have access to logs and/or veneer from marine salvaged tropical hardwoods recovered from the Panama Canal. These clear, old-growth timbers have a strong environmental pedigree and offer a unique appearance, exquisite quality and a compelling story.
In order to make the best use of this material, we need to connect with a large scale project - one seeking over 200 doors and also possibly veneer panels, matching furnishings (both solid and veneered) and other uses of this valuable fiber.

Prices are reasonable, so long as a high volume is involved. The vendor is a US firm with business in Alaska. The contact is a local BC boy who knows just about all there is to know about the timber industry and salvage.

Contact me for more images and information (species, cost, lead times, etc.). mitch.toews@lyndendoor.com
