As trees age, the centers of each trunk become part of a great transformation. No longer necessary for sap production & energy storage, the cells start leaving a material known for its deep-rooted strength. Shift in function accommodates continued growth by providing structure as the tree reaches for the sun. This whole idea drives Heartwood Forge to create carbon steel kitchen knives using found and recycled materials that will grace your kitchen for generations.
“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”
