Why Whitney Sawmill is the Secret Ingredient to Our Premium Office Accessories
At Creative Input, we like to think of our wood as more than just material – it’s a connection to the community, craftsmanship, and sustainability. And when it comes to sourcing that wood, we’re lucky to have Whitney Sawmill just five miles down the road from our workshop. Not only do they provide us with the highest quality timber, but the folks over there are some of the friendliest and most knowledgeable people we know. Every time we stop by, we’re met with a warm welcome, a great conversation, and a real passion for what they do.
But it’s not just the staff that makes Whitney Sawmill special – it’s the fact that they help us get our hands on the kind of wood that makes each product unique. A lot of what we work with is offcuts and reclaimed wood, and we love the character and sustainability it brings to our office accessories.
The Whitney Sawmill Crew: Where Craftsmanship Meets Community
One of the things that stands out about Whitney Sawmill is the team. These aren’t just people who cut wood – they’re real craftsmen (and women) who take pride in every piece that leaves their workshop. The staff are always happy to chat about the process, share their knowledge, and give us tips on how to make the most of the materials we’re using. It’s refreshing to work with a team that’s as passionate about quality and sustainability as we are.
It’s not just about a transaction – it’s about building a relationship. Whether we’re picking up some planks or dropping by with a question, we always leave feeling like we’ve had a genuine, helpful interaction. In a world where everything feels rushed, it’s so nice to know there’s a place where you can count on good people who care about the little details.
The Beauty of Offcuts and Reclaimed Wood
Another reason we love working with Whitney Sawmill is because of their commitment to sustainability, which aligns perfectly with our own values. While we use fresh, high-quality timber in many of our products, we’re also big fans of offcuts and reclaimed wood. These materials might be considered “leftovers” by some, but to us, they’re treasures waiting to be transformed.
Many of the pieces we make start with reclaimed wood – like floorboards or bits of timber that were previously used in other projects. We love the idea that something old can be given new life, and we believe that the imperfections in reclaimed wood give it character and charm. It’s a bit like having a piece of history in your office, and no two pieces are ever the same. Plus, working with reclaimed wood is a sustainable choice that helps reduce waste and makes each product even more special.
When we incorporate offcuts, we’re able to make use of every scrap of wood – nothing goes to waste. These offcuts are perfect for small, high-quality accessories like pen holders, coasters, and desk organizers, which means you get the same attention to detail and craftsmanship, no matter the size of the piece.
Sustainable, Beautiful, and Full of Character
In the end, it’s all about making things that last, are kind to the planet, and have a story behind them. By working with Whitney Sawmill, and by using offcuts and reclaimed wood, we’re able to offer products that are not only beautifully crafted but also sustainably made. Whether it’s a sleek new desk accessory or a one-of-a-kind reclaimed wood item, you can feel good knowing that each piece is carefully sourced, thoughtfully designed, and made to last.
So, the next time you’re shopping for something special for your desk, remember: you’re not just getting a stylish accessory. You’re supporting local craftsmanship, sustainability, and a whole lot of heart.
