The Northeastern Loggers' Assn. has honored vertically integrated furniture company Ethan Allen for its use of wood.

NELA gave Danbury, Conn.-based Ethan Allen's operations in Beecher Falls and Orleans, Vt., with its 2011 Outstanding Use of Wood Award.

"Over its 70-plus years of history, Ethan Allen Furniture has had to consistently adapt to change, whether it's in obtaining their raw material, streamlining their manufacturing processes with new technology, and certainly selling their products--made using the American hardwood growing all around us--now in the global marketplace," said Vermont saw miller and NELA Secretary William Sayre.

The Northeastern Loggers' Assn., headquartered in Old Forge, N.Y., represents nearly 2,000 members of the Northeast's logging, saw milling and paper industry.
