Recycled Skateboard & Bamboo Sunglasses

Recycled Skateboard or Bamboo Sunglasses...What's Right for You?

November 03, 2016

When it comes to choosing a great pair of shades, skateboard sunglasses and bamboo sunglasses are our most popular options!

Cassette sunglasses are known for being finely crafted eyewear and the sunnies featured on The Wood Reserve are no exception. Each style is made using durable materials and is available in a variety of polarized lens types and color options.

There's really no wrong answer, but when it comes down to choosing, you have to ask yourself:

Skateboard Sunglasses or Bamboo Sunglasses?

Here's a bit more information on each option.

Recycled Skateboard Sunglasses

Do you want to pay homage to your love of skateboarding? Are you interested in a pair of shades that's a little more unique?

Our skateboard sunglasses are built entirely from recycled skate decks. These designs feature a spectacular layered look and tons of eye-catching color options, like:

  • Blue
  • Red
  • Black

Not only are these eco-friendly sunglasses stylish, but their unique background and look make them an ideal conversation piece.

Classic Bamboo Sunglasses

When customers are shopping for wood sunglasses, one word often comes to mind...bamboo. 

Bamboo lends itself perfectly to the classic sunglass styles we've all come to know and love. Our gorgeous options convey a sleek, sophisticated feel that makes them the perfect option for any face shape.

Refinement aside, bamboo sunglasses are also quite practical. Bamboo wood is known for its floating capability - so if you feel like taking these sunnies out on the water, don't worry about them falling in! 

Our bamboo sunglasses are available in chocolate bamboo and black bamboo.

Gifting Your Groomsmen

Gifting Your Groomsmen

October 25, 2016

You’ve survived the planning phase, made it through the bachelor party, and are fast approaching the big day.

While it may seem like everything has been checked off the list, there’s one important task that should not be pushed to the wayside…choosing a gift for your groomsmen.

These are the men that have stood by your side throughout this chaotic journey.

They’re probably some of the first people you told about your impending proposal and the ones you depended on for beers and cigars when the never-ending honey-do list got chaotic. You need to thank them appropriately.

Sure, a few tiny bottles of liquor could be sufficient, but why not pick something unforgettable?

Check out some of our favorite groomsmen gift options on The Wood Reserve!

Wood Sunglasses

Solid Wood Sunglasses

 I’m sure you’ve seen those photos of the groomsmen standing together with their shades on looking like rockstars. Well, imagine how much better they’d look with a sleek pair of wood sunglasses or recycled skate deck shades.

All of our sunnies are made from the highest quality solid woods and recycled materials available. Each pair also comes equipped with grade A polarized lenses.

If you want a gift that your guys are sure to remember, this is the option you’ve been searching for.

Wood Flasks 

Groomsmen Gift Wood Flask

You’re probably sitting there thinking, oh wow…another flask.

The #1 barware choice for gentlemen, flasks have been a groomsmen gift favorite for years, but ask yourself this – how many people do you know with a unique wood flask?

Produced using a protective stainless steel interior, these flasks are wrapped with your choice in solid wood varieties, such as:

  • Cedar
  • Mahogany
  • Walnut

They are more than just a holder for your liquor of choice, they are a true conversation piece that any man, or woman, would love.

Wood Cufflinks

Groomsmen Gift Wood Cufflinks

Do you want to gift your guys with something classic and refined? Our collection of elegant wood cufflinks makes for unique men’s accessories that will quickly become a formal wear favorite.

Not only are they a vast improvement over the blasé cufflinks that traditionally come with most tuxedo and suit rentals, but also they’re a wardrobe addition that your men will be proud to show off time and time again.

Wood Bottle Openers

Groomsmen Gift Wood Bottle Opener

Available with a wide range of gorgeous solid wood inlays, our wood bottle openers are a unique barware gift that would be perfect for your groomsmen.

Backed by high-quality stainless steel, these bottle openers don’t just look good; they provide a durable performance that will be a part of your home bar for years to come.

Choose from designs to match your wedding, like:

  • Compass
  • Guitar
  • City Skyline
  • Custom Monogram

 

So What’s the Best Groomsmen Gift for Your Wedding?

Why stick to something plain and ordinary? Our collection of unique wood gifts will set you apart amongst your recipients.

Our products are more than just run of the mill items…they’re works of art disguised as everyday items that will appeal to all different tastes and styles.

Welcome to The Wood Reserve

Welcome to The Wood Reserve

July 20, 2016

There’s a refined quality to wood that has made it a material to withstand the ages. Its variation of colors and strength, the diverse ebb and flow of its grains…wood of any type brings a level of uniqueness to products that can’t be duplicated.

While consumers are used to finding wood products in certain genres such as furniture and home décor, there’s an expanse of items available that truly push the envelope.

The Wood Reserve is an online retailer that is proud to offer its shoppers a selection of products that can’t often be found other places. If you’re looking for something that can’t be picked up at your local department store, then look no further.

Ryan and Kristen Bergeron, the owners and founders of The Wood Reserve, have a deep admiration for the potential that can be found in a piece of wood. Every cut is a blank canvas that is used to create something distinctive and memorable. As a woodworking hobbyist, Ryan understands the time and effort that goes into these creations and is excited to offer them to each of you.

Many of the items for sale on The Wood Reserve, such as the watches, sunglasses, and bowties are handcrafted in the USA from the finest solid woods available. Many of our vendors even offer a wide array of products that come in rare, exotic woods.

We’re also excited to showcase various options that are made using recycled materials. A few of our vendors use recycled whiskey barrels and skateboard decks to provide us with a unique collection of one-of-a-kind items.

 

 When you shop amongst our incomparable inventory of wood products, you are not only receiving stylish alternatives to traditional items like jewelry, flasks, and ink pens, but you are also receiving the confidence that comes from choosing things made from durable wood materials.

In recognition of the depleting wood sources the world over, we have partnered with an incredible organization called Trees for the Future that will help us promote sustainability for our planet. For every item that you purchase, we will plant one tree on your behalf. With your help, we feel that we can truly make a difference.

We’re thrilled that you’ve taken a moment to stop by. Take a look around and enjoy; we hope you’ll be as excited about our products as we are.

When you purchase an item from The Wood Reserve, you’re not just getting a run of the mill product. You’re becoming the owner of a statement piece that will most certainly turn a few heads.

Where traditional wood meets modern lifestyle – Welcome to The Wood Reserve.
