More and more manufacturers are now sourcing oak from sustainable managed forests that are accredited by FSC. Coutries like China have been slow to catch on with the sustainable but i have been very encouraged to see that some of the big furniture factories in Vietnam are now sourcing solid American oak from sustainable managed forests in the US. I think this is a result of the western companies pushing for this as customers ask for sustainable oak more and more now and the Vietnamise have realised its importance and it then helps them to secure larger furniture deals.
