From urban trees to kiln dried slabs
Locally sourced
Our slabs are locally sourced and tracked when possible. Do you know where your lumber comes from?
Sawing up to 76" logs
Live edge slabs are sawn with a custom built 45" cut bandsaw mill or our 76" Lucas slabber mill.
Vacuum Kiln Dried
All of our urban slabs are dried using our state of the art vacuum kiln.
Lumber not commercially available
Our urban slabs are sourced from a variety of trees in sizes and species that aren't normally available. Why buy common lumber when you can have unique pieces with known provenance.
The Urban Lumber Difference
Provenance: Our live edge slab lumber is tracked from its location that it was harvested to the point of sale.
History: Many trees have history, which you can pass along to your next furniture project.
Figure, color and dimensions: The characteristics which are normally cut out of commercial lumber are sought after in ours. Our live edge slab lumber has color and figure unlike commercial lumber with widths over 40" wide.
Personal meaning: If a large family tree falls during a storm, don't just cut it up. Make it into lumber and pass the legacy of the tree onto future generations with a piece of heirloom furniture made with its wood.
Community Meaning: Make that community space even more impressive with furniture made from wood salvaged from the same town.
