JFJ Wildwood Fossil Woods and Furniture environmental policy
We
are committed to sourcing and supplying products that are legal whilst
providing a source of employment for the indigenous and local
inhabitants of the region.
Teak Root Furniture and Sculptures
Our
teak root furniture and sculptures are crafted from roots that
originate from two distinct areas. Local indigenous people and farmers
collect the roots from their own land providing employment and a
livelihood to local communities. The teak roots are also obtained from
the teak estates and plantations that have been established on Java and
are plantations as opposed to natural old growth forest.
In the past the teak roots have been discarded or destroyed but we have now discovered a valuable use for these roots.
Fossilised Timber Stone Furniture and Sculptures
Fossilised
or petrified wood can be found in a number of countries around the
world and our fossilised furniture and sculptures originate from Java.
These
fossilised pieces of timber are discovered and collected by farmers who
are preparing and working on the farm land and rice paddies. The
fossilised pieces of timber turn up when the fields and paddies are
being ploughed. Once again, these fossils were once discarded but are
new crafted into furniture and sculptures, providing work and income
for the local Javanese people.
