Responsible Craftsmanship for a Modern World.

Beautiful woodwork shouldn't cost the earth. Discover how Fleur-de-lis Form builds with passion, precision, and a deep respect for our planet.

Our Three Pillars of Green Woodworking

Fleur-de-lis Form is dedicated to crafting exquisite woodwork while honoring our environmental responsibility.

Responsible Materials

We prioritize and exclusively utilize FSC-certified timber, ensuring our wood comes from sustainably managed forests. Our partnerships with local Quebec sawmills reduce transportation impact, and our passion for giving reclaimed wood a new life underscores our commitment to circularity.

Healthy Finishes

Protecting both our environment and your health is paramount. We exclusively use low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) or zero-VOC finishes, including natural oils and waxes. This ensures healthier indoor air quality for your home or business, free from harmful chemical emissions.

Mindful Workshop

Our workshop in Quebec City employs rigorous waste-reduction programs. Wood scraps are either repurposed into smaller projects, offered for community craft initiatives, or used to heat our facility, significantly minimizing landfill contributions and our overall carbon footprint.

The Beauty of Reclaimed Wood

Each piece of reclaimed wood tells a story, carrying the character of its past life into a beautifully crafted future.

Your Questions on Green Carpentry

Addressing common queries about sustainable practices and eco-friendly furniture.

Absolutely. Often, reclaimed timber comes from old-growth forests, making it denser and more stable than many modern, fast-grown woods. With proper preparation and finishing, reclaimed wood furniture from Fleur-de-lis Form can last for generations, often exceeding the durability of new materials. Its inherent character also often hides minor imperfections beautifully.
Yes, modern eco-friendly finishes, including natural oils and waxes, offer exceptional durability and protection. While traditional lacquers sit on the surface, many eco-finishes penetrate the wood, hardening and protecting from within. They are also often easier to repair and maintain than traditional film-forming finishes, contributing to a longer lifespan for your furniture.
We meticulously source our reclaimed lumber primarily from historic demolitions and renovations throughout Quebec, including old barns, factories, and residential structures. We also partner with reputable salvagers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable material recovery, ensuring each piece has a traceable and meaningful past.
While some sustainable materials, particularly certain species of FSC-certified wood or extensively prepared reclaimed timber, can have a slightly higher upfront cost, we strive to make green woodworking an accessible choice. The long-term durability and timelessness of our eco-friendly pieces often represent a superior value, contributing to a healthier environment and a more responsible investment.
