In 2008, Jeffrey Brennan and his father Andrew, were in West Africa exploring new business opportunities. Immediately, their attention was stolen with the diverse beauty and uniqueness of the Natural elegance of the abundant African timber species. They set up meetings with the African government officials to learn about the export requirements and harvesting laws of the countries they were about to visit.
They toured over a dozen sawmills and hand selected the choice few to conduct business with. Local ownership, staffing, and forestation practices were all a part of the extensive selection process. The Brennan's wanted to do so much more than just provide flooring. They wanted to be able to offer the high end consumer a vehicle to express their own individual style.

There is nothing quite like olive wood for turning your home into a conversation piece. A symbol of victory, strength and peace, the olive tree's beauty is referenced in countless ancient texts including the Bible (Hosea 14:6). The olive tree's cultivation began more than 7,000 years ago.
Valued for its fruit and oil, and for the unique attributes of its wood, it is cherished as the one of the hardest densest and most durable of all woods with superior resistance to damage from the abuse and moisture that threaten most common wood flooring.Due to the size of the trees and quality of the soil, Italy is considered to be the premiere source of high quality olive wood for flooring, and the only source of olive wood we use.
