Product Details

With all of the current chemical concerns and growing environmental concerns, Maple Landmark introduced the new Schoolhouse Naturals line. At their root, these are simply wood. ML uses primarily hard maple and no added chemicals other then a little wood glue where needed. Even the detailing is chemical free, it is laser engraved into the wood.
Choose between Natural (no finish) or Tung Oil. Tung oil is a
centuries-old finish, made from the oil in the nut of the tung tree. This version is all natural, with pure polymerized tung oil, a citrus-derived solvent and beeswax.

Company Details:
Maple
Landmark is a wonderful company with great environmental policies. The
majority of the wood they use (primarily rock maple, but some pine and
cherry) comes from one source located just 9 miles up the road and is
harvested from lands that use sustainable harvesting methods. As with
our other materials, their finishes are purchased as locally as
possible. Nearly all are produced in Vermont, by people they know and
have worked with for many years.
They also have great policies
for waste and recycling. Instead of sending wood waste to the landfill,
it is reused for other purposes. Sawdust is used by local farmers for
cattle bedding and wood scraps are used by locals for kindling - all
for free. They take steps to reduce packaging where possible. They
reuses boxes and packing materials whenever possible.
Maple
Landmark makes great natural toys in the USA, from local wood, with
little or no finish, and they have great environmental business ethics.
