Brown Hound Tree Salvage
We don't let your tree go to waste; it will live on through local artists and craftsmen.
About Us
Locally Sourced Wood
When we started our tree care and removal company, Brown Hound Tree Service, we vowed to save as much wood as possible from the landfill.
In 2016, we began milling live edge slabs with a Stihl 880 chainsaw and an Alaskan sawmill. Now, with a Norwood LumberPro HD36, we mill slabs and lumber more efficiently from locally-sourced wood.
We offer a wide variety of slabs and turning blanks, as well as branches, stumps, hollow logs, chips, sawdust, mulch 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 a reasonable price.

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.
