We list special exotic hardwoods, veneers, semi-precious stones and stained glass in our catalog. To the best of our knowledge we obtain our wood from countries with reforestation policies. Our current stock of wood  is in our Baltimore, MD, warehouse. Our timber is air dried to the moisture coefficient of this area, 9% to 11%. Some thicknesses may very in moisture content.

We have traveled to many of our suppliers bases around the world in search of the finest timbers, stones and glass. Indians in the country of origin cut a number of our timber species. The Amerasian Indians in Guyana and the Negroes Indians in Suriname are two such groups. They use the forest as their home, and are very selective in their choices. We are very much aware of the existing rainforest situation and will continue to do as much as possible to raise consciousness through global awareness.

Stars Art and Design can provide much more than a choice of the world's decorative hardwood, stone and glass. If you require a beautiful hard and solid wood, well seasoned and well kept, Stars can supply you. Our timber produces extremely smooth surfaces, and polishes exceptionally well. We can match a kaleidoscope of different colors from rich dark chocolate and deep purple to warm golden ivory and creamy beige. Our timber has dark and light stripes, simulated metal flakes, and iridescent grain. Whatever your specialty, we can provide the most suitable hardwood for your project. Add value and prestige to your production with our hardwood. The semi-precious stones have been picked for great decorative color and design.

We are a design firm using the timber, semi-precious stone and glass in this catalog for our projects. The materials listed are from the many beautiful design projects we have done in the past. In a number of instances we traveled to the country of origin and hand picked the materials for our projects, from the jungle timber camps in the Amazon to the mountains of Siberia to give our clients the best..

We have gathered our collection of materials from many sources worldwide. Some of the materials at Stars are not readily available in the marketplace, which make it special. Our inventory of tabletop Slabs is unsurpassed. The experience Stars has gained in working with exotic wood and other material is invaluable. This information is available as a tool that can help project savings and production. We will be happy to show pictures of our projects showing the fine workmanship and finishes possible.
