By choosing 100% post-consumer recycled wood plaques, you are helping us to reclaim a portion of our nation’s past and honor the rich history of rural America. The barn wood for our plaques is carefully salvaged, kiln-dried, re-sawn, and re-milled to prepare it for an entirely new purpose. You may notice nail holes, wormholes, or other signs of wear. We hope that these “imperfections” will remind you of the wood’s noble history and enduring strength.
We are pleased to announce that Rivanna is now authorized by the Forest Stewardship Council to use the FSC Recycled label on our recycled wood plaques. Products with a 100% Recycled label support re-use of forest resources and, in accordance with FSC standards, only use post-consumer recycled wood or fiber (as defined by the FSC).
Our plaques are painted with an oil-based finish made from naturally derived raw materials, including citrus peel extracts, essential oils, seed oils, tree resins, inert mineral fillers, tree and bee waxes, lead-free driers and natural pigments (earth and/or rock). The raw materials for the finish are low in toxic substances, renewable, and have a low environmental impact. |
