About us


Since 2014, we have been saving as many trees as possible from fire pits and landfills.


We are fully outfitted with a knuckle boom (for picking up and hauling logs off of job sites), a Norwood LumberPro HD36 and a Lucas Mill. We are currently milling live edge slabs and dimensional lumber more efficiently than ever from locally-sourced wood.


We have an iDRY kiln and a partnership with Slab Slayers and their custom-built slab flattener, so together, we can turn out beautiful pieces of wood that are properly dried and so flat that if there were a rollie pollie on a slab, it wouldn't be able to roll anywhere. (Sorry little wood louse- Kiln-drying kills bugs. Roll away before it's too late!)


We offer a wide variety of wood slabs and turning blanks, as well as branches, stumps, hollow logs, chips, sawdust, and tree cookies. We salvage as much of each tree as possible!

Whether you're experienced or just like to dabble, we work with wood workers, artists, crafters and the like, to make available local tree species that you don't necessarily see for sale by other local retailers, at an affordable price.



Over 10,000 trees saved from local landfills.
 Green Values. Sustainable.
Beauty, Craft, Opportunity.

Finished Products
Made by local woodworkers, with locally-sourced, urban wood.

We want to support local artisans by promoting their tree-related and wooden creations. If you are someone who NEEDS a finished product, we can point you in the right direction.

If you are a woodworker, painter, sculptor, jewelry maker, crafter, etc., and you have made something from, inspired by, or related to TREES, please contact us! We will drive business your way.
