Flag Back Rocking Chair, Unfinished Cedar, Earth Friendly

Keene rocking chair, unfinished cedar, eco friendly construction from forest to factory, locally sourced sustainably harvested wood, environmentally responsible manufacturing processes.

You won't find a more comfortable way to show your pride in our country than our Flag Back Rocker (an adaptation of our Keene Rocker). The slightly curved seat and back will add to your enjoyment and the environmentalist in you will appreciate the fact that it is eco friendly from forest to factory. Sturdy construction backed by a 5 year manufacturer's warranty.

Our manufacturer is Chain of Custody certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) which supports environmentally responsible manufacturing practices. The cedar is sustainably harvested from woodlots that are managed in an environmentally safe manner. All of the cedar comes from local sources, and is only transported 25 to 85 miles from forest to factory - reducing the carbon footprint of this earth friendly product. Wood waste is kept to a minimum, but any scrap that is generated is ground into shavings to be used as high quality animal bedding.

Built from unfinished cedar, you can leave this rocking chair as is to mellow to a beautiful silver grey, or add the finish of your choice. Used outdoors the transformation to silver generally takes a 6 to 12 months, indoors it will change much more slowly.

Left in its natural state, cedar furniture normally provides 15 to 25 years of outdoor use. If you like, you can keep the new milled look by applying a clear wood preserver, or alter the look by applying a darker stain. Stains and preservers will extend the life of your furniture even further - plan on re-applying every 1 to 2 years.

Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:

Sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed local woodlots

Local sourcing of wood (25 to 85 miles away) reduces carbon footprint from transportation.

Wood is used efficiently to minimize waste, and scraps are ground into shavings and reused as animal bedding.

Shipping boxes utilize reused or recycled cardboard, and all unused cardboard is recycled.

Our cedar, natural and untreated (why is this important?), is grown in moist swampy New England woodlands.

Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine.

Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory's highest rating for decay and disease resistance.

Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent.

Left unfinished, cedar will typically provide 15 to 25 years of use outdoors.

Our cedar products are shipped in their natural color, pale tan or light gold. The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray. Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process. Latex paint coats evenly and lets wood breathe.

Simple assembly required (15 minutes).

Furniture includes durable zinc coated and stainless steel hardware.

Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates when used outdoors.

5 year manufacturer's warranty.
