A small, quiet sawmill at the foot
of the Southwest Mountains.
We mill trees that have already fallen or needed to come down — yard trees, stormfall, local removals — and we try to honor each one. The work is part craft, part listening: reading each log, choosing the cut that reveals the best version of what’s already there.
Grain, knots, spalting and edges are history — signs of weather and time, not mistakes to hide.
Simple processes, minimal waste, honest pricing. We find outlets for by-products and are open to creative suggestions.
Good boards take time to mill and dry. We air-dry to equalize, kiln-dry to spec. We don’t rush that.

Measure twice, cut once — then make the offcut into something useful.

The wood stores the carbon.
We keep it in service.
Trees absorb CO₂ as they grow and lock that carbon in their wood. When a tree is landfilled, chipped, or burned, much of it returns to the atmosphere. When we rescue local logs and put them into furniture and architecture, the carbon stays in service — often for decades. Every slab in our inventory lists the approximate pounds of CO₂ kept out of the atmosphere.
We’re a small shop.
