Mother Nature has left us an alternative…
Hopefully we can be wise enough to use it.

About Us

Located in Central Missouri, USA, Greener Lumber, LLC was formed in July of 2009 and, as of September 2010, works  with a company in Belize to import many species of river salvaged timber into the US and make Greener Lumber brand “Sinker” woods available to consumers in North America and other regions of the world.

We have a devout commitment to the people and environment of Belize and hope to give end users of tropical species a viable alternative to cutting young timber. Hopefully this would allow  rainforest areas in Belize to grow back to their once majestic stature and then be sustainably managed for future generations of woodworkers.


Videos

Greener Lumber has received some much appreciated exposure from a globally broadcast program called “Earthrise”. It is, in my opinion, one of the top environmental news programs on the planet. Unfortunately it’s not shown on many cable or satellite channels in the US but is well distributed over the rest of the globe. If you would like to see our smiling faces and see just how we are retrieving these nuggets of wooden gold. 

 

History and methods of Mahogany logging in Belize

A video showing the history and methods of Mahogany logging in Belize back in the early 1900’s and what we do now to recover all this material. You’ll see some great examples of what this precious wood is being used for at the end of the video.


Large Sawmill Gets It Done

A video showing how it’s done in Belize when a sawmill large enough  to saw giant table top natural edge slabs is not available. Who ya gonna call?… Mr. Hub of course!!

 

 

Working with the wood close-up for several weeks left me VERY impressed with its beauty and workability.  The wood is really fine-grained with lots of very small pores that add a glittery glow under finish, making it seem translucent.  We compared it to some mahogany scraps left from a previous project.  It was purchased about five to six years ago and machined two years ago.  It had darkened a bit with exposure to air, but clearly the grain of your mahogany was much, much finer.  It made the recent mahogany look coarse in comparison.
