Gibson was recently found guilty in the states of not using wood from sustainable sources.

I love HiFi stuff with wood (turntable plinths, speakers, carts etc) but somewhere in the back of my mind I feel a little guilty that perhaps by entertaining my fascination I am contributing to the problem of deforestation.

The places I get timber from say that their wood is from sustainable forests but it is hard to tell.
