SAVE THE TIMBERS NYC
The furniture supports the work of Save The Timbers NYC – a non-profit that applies dendrochronology (aka tree ring science) to the salvaged lumber of dismantled 19th and early 20th c. buildings in NYC. The old growth woods provide a rare glimpse into past climate and may help to validate the fact that the earth is warming.
