Benches are awesome because they are such versatile pieces of furniture. You can use a bench as bench or even a coffee table if needed. Your bench can be live edge or can have a straight edge. We can customize it to any size that fits your space. All of our wood is salvaged by us, milled by us, and dried by us. We take pride in repurposing urban trees.

At Genuine TimberCraft, we specialize in the complete process of repurposing raw materials into custom finished products for commercial and home spaces. As we interact with you and your product from its very inception, we want to meet your needs based on what drives you, your home, or your business. We take great pride in using fallen urban timber that we salvage, mill, and dry ourselves.
We are driven by a passion to build and a vision to create useable products out of fallen trees that would otherwise end up in a landfill. It all started when Joe Konopka, a carpenter by trade, decided that there was a better way to procure lumber for building furniture than buying from a retail store. That’s when he bought a portable bandsaw mill and began recovering logs from fallen trees around the Richmond area, turning them into quality and unique lumber.
My name is Dylan Greenquist, and I am privileged to have the opportunity to partner with Joe. Before starting Genuine TimberCraft, I worked as a manager at a mortgage company. It did not take me long to realize that an office job was not for me. However, with a background in business and also carpentry, I decided to pursue my passion for wood and working with my hands.
