Our slabs comply with local ordinances for production and extraction in the fact that landowners are only allowed to harvest a specific number of trees per acre from their properties.

Furthermore, local authorities will inspect, label and identify which trees will be scheduled for felling, milling, drying and export.

Each piece of lumber is tracked through the kiln drying and export process, being delivered to the final port and destination with the original identification number intact.

The type of wood is ‘Enterolobium cyclocarpum’, commonly known as guanacaste, caro caro, or elephant-ear tree, is a species of flowering tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to tropical regions of the Americas, from central Mexico south to northern Brazil (Roraima) and Venezuela.
