All of our work begins with the tree. We salvage select “dead and down” logs one at a time from local tree services, parks departments and local landowners and transport them to our Orange County, NY sawmill and drying barn. A perishable material, logs wood must be processed carefully and quickly before milling to avoid deterioration. End grain must be sealed, bark removed carefully by hand, and the log stored off the ground and away from the sun. Typical processing time from log to finished piece of furniture is two years, after the material has been gently and thoroughly air dried and then kiln dried.
Most logs that we use are from trees that grew for 75 years or longer and have a diameter of at least 20 inches. Each one unique.
