In the cradle of forestry and "home furnishings capital of the world" (right next door to the "hardwood capital of the world"), I finish and ship custom slabs to your specifications, whether they have to turn a perfect or unusual corner and be finished in polyurethane or left natural with a penetrating oil and wax. Stable and kiln-dried slabs in a wide variety of widths and thicknesses, both straight and life edge, and in species such as walnut, cherry, red birch, spalted sycamore, spalted maple, elm, etc. are available. Photos are just a few examples of past work only. Please start a conversation to discuss your own project. Standard turnaround on tops alone is usually 3-6 weeks.

I specialize in custom furniture from salvaged trees, unique and heirloom quality end grain surfaces, butcher blocks, tables, and islands all sizes.
We work with responsible local arborists and sawyers to perform the modern art of urban wood salvage around the greater Asheville area, preserving large trees of a wide variety of species in beautiful slab form that would otherwise be ground up at the mulch yard and turning them into custom-designed furniture and–for lack of a more humble word–art.
