About Us

Centerwoods is an independent wood and furniture website, started in 2026. We publish practical guides about wood: how species compare, which woods suit which projects, what makes a wood sustainable or rare, and how to buy it with the right paperwork. Alongside the guides, we run an online store for wood and home products.

What we write about

• Wood species and how to tell them apart
• Choosing wood for furniture, indoor and outdoor projects
• Sustainability and legal trade, from certification to CITES-listed species

How we write our guides

• We work from published sources: official databases such as CITES Species+ and the IUCN Red List, government and regulator pages, and established references. We link to them so you can check for yourself.
• Where rules change, such as trade listings or regulations, we say when we last checked.
• We are a young site. We don’t claim hands-on experience we don’t have.
• Our guides are general information, not legal or professional advice.
