FSC:
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that sets international standards for responsible forest management worldwide. Trees and wood products that are processed according to those standards can obtain an FSC certification. Regular inspections are done by independent certification companies. Products that have an FSC logo give consumers a guarantee that no illegal or unsustainable logging has taken place.

Maintenance:
-Wipe down periodically with a slightly damp or dry dust cloth that contains no heavy stitching, to avoid scratches.
-Rub the wax into the wood to create a beautiful shine and a natural protective finish. It also prevents the wood from drying out.
-Mineral oil can be applied using a cloth. This will build up over time to produce a protective surface.
-Avoid all cleaning tools with a rough surface.
-Avoid polish or cleaning products containing silicone, which can dry out natural wood over time.
-Do not use detergents or any cleaning products that contain ammonia.

Origin:
All Carpenter benches are made from recycled teak wood. This type of wood is strong and also known for the beautiful drawings in the wood.

Teak has been a preferred hardwood for centuries for furniture, construction and shipbuilding, also because it is very durable and suitable for outdoor use. Teak wood is indigenous in India, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, but because of extensive logging, it is only in Myanmar that it still grows in natural forests.

In Indonesia, it was introduced in the 16th century and during Dutch colonial times, large plantations were started. After Indonesia became independent the Indonesian government managed the plantations. This has been quite successful, as teak is a valuable wood and it has always been economical to replant teak after logging trees. Practically all the teak wood in Indonesia that is used for furniture production comes from these plantations. Only for local use sometimes teak from small farms near villages are used. Since it does not grow in the natural forests of Indonesia, no tropical forests are cut for teak wood.

Since 2016 the Indonesian government has regulated all timber trade, with a system to trace all wood that is exported back to the source, where the trees were cut. This has been part of the FLEGT trade agreement with the EU, to guarantee that only legal wood is imported into the EU. These aspects together make teak production in Indonesia and its use for furniture both economically and environmentally sustainable.

Materials:
Recycled teak wood

Maintenance:
-The wood has a water-based coating, which protects against water stains, but advised is to use the furniture only indoors and not to leave fluids on the wood for a longer period of time.
-Small damage or scratches in the wood with natural colour can be treated only on the spot itself with transparent or very light coloured oil.
