Sustainable Woodworking: How True Grain Reduces Waste

Sustainability drives everything we do at True Grain Woodworking. From sourcing lumber to finishing the final product, we focus on building eco-friendly furniture that respects both material and maker.

We source Ontario hardwoods from responsible mills, minimizing transport waste and supporting local forestry. Offcuts from custom tables, cabinetry, and vanities are repurposed into smaller products like cutting boards, coasters, or art pieces.

We use low-VOC oils and water-based finishes, ensuring cleaner air in your home and a smaller environmental footprint.

Every decision we make reflects our mission: to create handcrafted furniture that’s built to last — not replaced. True Grain’s approach combines modern design with responsible craftsmanship, proving that sustainability and beauty can coexist naturally.
