Refined Upcycling

For the better part of a decade I have been saving logs from the landfill. I custom mill logs in-situ with a portable chainsaw mill. In addition to being hyper local, the lumber often features rare and unique figure unavailable through larger lumber suppliers.

If you have downed timber and would like to give it another life please
