In this ever-changing world, more and more consumers are becoming aware and concerned about the environment. As manufacturers, we feel the same way and are striving to stay informed on the latest developments in the new "green building" trend. We’ve already done many "green" projects and actually prefer to do all of our work in this manner. However, at this point the industry does not offer all of the materials we need to do this completely and still satisfy all of our diverse clients’ needs. As our suppliers develop and offer new products to fill that need, we will provide this option to our concerned clients. The slight difference in cost is far less than what we will all pay in the long run if we continue to pollute and squander our resources.

The exterior of these Maple cabinets were made of FSC-certified formaldehyde-free plywood. And the interiors were made of wheatboard, which is made of recycled wheat chaff, with a binder that uses no formaldehyde.
"We love our new cabinets. We consider them our biggest splurge in the project & we couldn’t be happier with the design & workmanship. Not only do we feel good that the materials are environmentally friendly, we were also happy to hear that cutting wheatboard didn’t give the builder headaches like when using standard materials."

These cabinets show a mix of grain direction using edge grain natural bamboo panels with jarra wood accents. Not only does bamboo meet the design interest for a wood grain that is clean and consistent, but it is 100% rapidly renewable. The design for the custom peninsula came from a photo the client provided.
"From design to execution my kitchen is more than I dreamed for. Three years later, and I still can’t think of anything I’d change. It was a pleasure working with woodmaster. They believe in perfection and achieve it."
