Heartwood House's motto is 'Better Together'.
One can buy heartwood from a wood shop or woodcutter's yard. Heartwood is the dense inner part of a tree trunk and it is this section that is mostly used for the hardest timber.
The heartwood of a tree doesn't actually do anything. It is center of a tree. It i s non-functioning, darker wood and sometimes dead. Heartwood supplies the flexibility to allow the tree to sway in the wind.
When the juvenile wood get older and loses its functions it becomes heartwood.
