Salvaging and Recycling Urban Timber

 

Nearly all trees removed from properties are either chipped and turned into mulch or are put in the city dump. We salvage trees that would otherwise be trashed and find a good use for them, turning them into lumber for hardwood flooring, furniture, and crafts.

 

We not only run a sawmill, but we’re woodworkers ourselves. This business was borne out of our passion for woodturning, and seeing the needless waste of beautiful trees.

 

We collect trees from all over the Bay Area. Many of these wonderful trees have been around for decades, and in some cases, centuries.

 

Some of the types of wood we've salvaged include:

alder

apricot

ash

birch

buckeye

carob

cherry

chestnut

hackberry

mapleoak

oak

poplar

redwood

robinia

sheoak

sycamore

tulip poplar
