There are many ethical concerns when manufacturing with timber, and our ethos at John George is to strive to be as sustainable as possible. All of our English timbers are locally sourced, buying stock from within 100 miles of the workshop. When commissioned to work with more exotic timber, we have our stock of tropical timbers which are pre-1980s surplus stock or reclaimed. For larger projects we use FSC registered American timbers and refuse to engage with unverified supplies.
