As far as is possible the wood we use is recycled wood (NOT from toilet seats!) - Jarrah is often from old floor boards and Huon Pine is from what was salvaged before Lake Pedder was flooded. Red Gum is normally from individual trees which had to be felled for safety reasons, or under council regulations, for housing developments and so on. New stuff is supposed to come from plantations as opposed to old growth; as far as I know Wenge and Aussie Oak are plantation timbers but some of them could be from recycled sources.So if your question is do we use old growth forest to source our timbers, the answer is still no, so long as what were being told is accurate.
