Our Mission
RAW Heartwood is dedicated to providing customers with the best possible sustainably sourced lumber and live-edge slabs. We only source our materials from urban areas of the Chicago suburbs, ensuring that all trees used in our fabrication process are either salvaged or naturally fallen. Through careful conservation of these natural resources, we are able to offer a wide variety of products for various DIY projects, renovations, remodeling, carpentry and interior design. No matter what your project may be, you can trust that your purchase from us will not contribute to deforestation or environmental damage. We take pride in providing high quality materials at affordable prices so that our customers can create beautiful things without compromising the environment.
