 Lyptus Wood
Lytpus Wood is a new trend in creating more environmentally responsible products. A premium-grade hardwood, Lyptus is grown on highly-productive, environmentally friendly plantations in South America. The plantations are a mix of eucalyptus trees and native tropical forest, ensuring a natural ecosystem. Lyptus forests are 11 times more productive than a temperate forest. Artists can feel good about using products made from Lyptus Wood.
