PORTLAND, OR -- Flagship juniper wood means jobs for Oregonians while restoring the natural ecosystem. A new Neil Kelly Cabinets collection called Naturally Northwest is entirely sourced and manufactured within a 500-mile radius of Portland.

Juniper is indigenous to easter Oregon. However, due to several factors including human fire suppression, juniper has taken over some areas and is depleting the water table and contributing to soil erosion. The Bureau of Land Management has suggested selective harvesting of juniper trees to help restore the natural ecosystem. Neil Kelly Cabinets introduces The Naturally Northwest  cabinet collection featuring locally available and renewable woods with less toxic materials and finishes. Eco-minded yet style-savvy homeowners can now choose from seven new indigenous woods, including Western juniper, big leaf maple, oregon white oak, red alder, madrona, CVG fir, and Western walnut.

Neil Kelly Cabinets is working with environmentalists, legislators, rural communities and wood artisans to help create a market for this wood -- prized for its beauty, as well as its incredible resistance to decay. Local mills are now processing this restoration wood into durable products such as decking, timbers, and cabinetry.

Neil Kelly Cabinets optimize indoor air qualtiy and healthful living by using certified woods upoon request; no-added urea formaldehyde agri-board panels, binders and glues; responsible wood veneers, and low VOC and no added formaldehyde adhesives and finishes.
