Our commitment demonstrates the urgency to preserve the environment while encouraging customers to make environmentally conscious purchases.
How we got our name
Kerf
In woodworking, Kerf is the thickness of material removed from a saw blade, usually measured in 1/1000 of an inch increments. Making familiar accessories from unconventional materials requires a level of extreme precision, so we chose Kerf to represent us because it’s everything we are: precise, finicky, and obsessed with perfection.

The Team
"Material is at the core of all the design choices we make. The materials we work with are a reflection of ourselves."
Explore our process
craft
Sourced with an emphasis on sustainability.
Our partnerships include Urban Tree, which rescues felled trees in the Pittsburgh area, local mills in Pennsylvania, and specialty lumber suppliers around the United States. They provide us with beautiful, local wood that does not rob the planet of oxygen and shade. Our exotic hardwood collection is not sourced from countries that exploit their natural resources or deal in endangered species.
Environmental commitment
our roots go deep
Made from 100% natural wood, by their nature every wooden KerfCase is unique from all others. From the cases themselves to the 100% post-consumer recycled packaging, we obsessively reuse and recycle as much as we can. Avoiding waste isn’t just good business; it’s the right thing to do in our increasingly disposable world.

Made to order
Our products are made to order and ship within five business days. This helps keep our footprint small, and drastically reduces waste. One of our favorite services is showing customers our raw wood stock and letting them choose the exact piece that becomes their case. We believe it's critical to do our own customer service rather than exporting it, so you can contact us directly if you'd like us to make something special for you!
