Follow my Custom Woob Slab Furniture
Creation Process from Start 2 Finish, Tree to Table

This blog is a journal of custom furniture commissions - checkout behind the scenes videos and before and after photos from around the sawmill and woodshop, as I share my process of transforming reclaimed fallen trees into heirloom tables.

These are custom table orders that range from personal furniture for homeowners like dining tables, coffee tables, headboards. Other projects have been for commercial and hospitality spaces to provide wood slab countertops, community tables, and custom desks and conference tables that leave a lasting impression and warm welcoming vibe.
