Ask your QuestionHow can I tell whether the hardwood used by a carpenter will be sustainable? Is there any way I can find this out in advance? 
Asked by Catherine on 6th Jul 2021"Not all hardwood is actually hardwood and not all softwood is actually softwood. In your case take some pictures and have the wood identified then go from there."

Just explain beforehand, make this a Priority before start!
Make the Carpenter/Builder know your ‘Sustainable Preferences!!!"
