Sianiq refers not only to the large, often waterlogged piece of wood at the bottom of a kayak, given by the inhabitants of Inukjuak (an Inuit community in the Hudson Bay), but simultaneously to ‘Inuuqatigiitsianiq’, the Inuit word used to describe the quality of relationships between persons sharing a place. With the type of wood we catalog under Sianiq, naturally modified through water and heat, we want to show our commitment to the place we all share: earth.

Ash in general is quite strong and due to its higher density, it possesses excellent stiffness, hardness and good resistance to impact; properties that are only further enhanced by heat treatment. Not only is the treated American ash excellent to work with, it also has a distinctive grain, character and colour.
Poplar is a medium-density wood that is characterized by its straight grain and a uniform texture that allows a high-quality finish on furniture, for example. The wood, especially in its preserved version, comes with excellent value for money, and excels, among other things, by excellent dimensional stability.
