Everything Exotic but the Price |

Exotic woods have everything going for them to be the choice of wood for use in fine woodcraft and durable construction. Well, almost. |

Exotics woods are also often rich in extractives. This makes them ideal for outdoor applications, where their natural biological durability and rot resistance allows them to sustain in the toughest of the environments.
No wonder why they’re in such high demand. No wonder why they’re so pricey.
But SeasonWood utilizes a new modern technology called thermal modification. This new Finnish technology uses ThermoWood TM kilns to ‘cook’ your average hardwood or softwood stock from your local wood store into all those good things that make exotic woods so expensive.
By subjecting the wood to steam and high temperatures in an aerodynamic and balanced chamber, a new darker SeasonWood product is created. This chemical-free process helps produce beautiful dark wood that is long-lasting but without the well-known wood-treating toxic chemicals like chromate copper arsenate (CCA) that are known to be lethal and especially for children.
Because the wood cell structure is modified and caramelized in the process, SeasonWood is more resistant to rot-causing fungi. SeasonWood also shrinks and swells less, like most exotic woods.

Hey, maybe if prices on www.seasonwood.com were a little higher then it too could be considered exotic.
