American Wood Importers, LLC is a family-owned company based out of Los Angeles County, California. Being a small, family-oriented business gives us the opportunity to go above and beyond when it comes to customer support and product quality. It also allows us the opportunity to get to know our customers on a personal level, which helps us provide unique solutions to a wide variety of needs across the Country and abroad. We travel throughout Central and South America regularly, and hand pick each and every slab that comes through our shop and to our customers. We feel that every piece tells it's own story. It is this unique story that we try to pair to each client. We care deeply about the environment, and we only work with trusted supply partners to ensure we play no part in worldwide deforestation. The reason we source nearly all of our wood from Costa Rica is that it is the most environmentally-conscious country on Earth. Our supply partners in the region know how important it is to us that we are environmentally-friendly, and they share our passion for sustainable harvesting practices. We do all of our metal work through our welder and fabricator who has taken the huge leap in starting his own business with our encouragement and support. The name of his new business is Raymond's Workshop (www.raymondsworkshop.com). You'll see very quickly that Raymond shares our same passion for perfection, which guarantees that the quality of our finished products is met without cutting corners.
