Rare
Pro Woods's Appalachian Advantage:
Some of the finest lumber in the
world comes from the Appalachian Mountain region of the U.S., where Rare Pro Woods is
strategically located. The lumber is considered superior because of the benefits
inherent in the location and the land. The climate is a main factor in producing the
naturally superior quality. The slower growth of trees results in high growth rings,
consistent grains, and strong fibers that lead to strength, durability, and beauty.
