Some days #milling almost feels like peeling layers off a log. Other days, it's more like wrestling. Last week in Altadena was one of those days. This #DeodarCedar was a beast maneuver but yielded 7x 18’ slabs, 3-4�� thick. Owner plans on making 15’ long tables. #lumber #treesofla

These customers were able to #salvage the wood from an #orange tree that died on their property. After the wood was milled and dried @jom_rivers_art used the material to craft this beautiful pedestal for their unique #sculpture. #woodart #urbanlumber #customwoodworking #art

Every job has its own challenges. Sometimes you can work in a place with a little elbow room sometimes you can’t. Despite tight quarters, the crew salvaged beautiful slabs from this large oak tree & get them out of the backyard of this residential home.

What’s in the shop? This #Redwood slab is half of this double trunk, salvaged from an Altadena #construction site. Great color and surprising density for a 75ish-year-old tree! The slab measures 3" thick x 120" long x 20-24" wide. #woodslabwednesday #woodworking #reclaimedwood

What’s in the shop? This 3” thick slab came from the upper trunk section of a huge Ash we milled onsite locally here in Monrovia. 92” tall & gets wider from 27” to 37”. #woodslabwednesday #woodworking #TreesofLA #woodfurniture #woodslab #lumber #urbanlumber

Came across this #spalted #Pecan 4 yrs ago after it had been thrown away by the crew who removed it. Thankful they were good enough to let us have it. Fascinating #grain & beautiful work by our own @erwinsonlemus on these table tops which are available for purchase. #woodworking

What’s in the shop? #EnglemannOak or #PasadenaOak, only grows in #SoCal & #Mexico. It's the densest domestic hardwood we’re aware of. This tree fell nearby into the street. City crews cleared it out of the street, but we were able to salvage a lot. Available slab is 81” x 24” x3”

What’s in the shop? Elegant #BlackWalnut slab (72” x 19”) saved from a steep hill in Eagle Rock. Took quite a bit of work to carry this log up the hillside but seeing it after milling was #worthit. #woodslabwednesday #woodworking #TreesofLA #woodfurniture #woodslab #urbanlumber

A big challenge in the #milling process is patience. Wood needs to dry before it can be used in a project. This beautiful #redwood countertop was featured a couple weeks ago as it left our shop for its new home. So glad to see it installed and ready to be used. #woodslab #lumber

[DC Treeworks @DCTreeworks]

What’s in the shop? Beautifully figured #EnglishWalnut slab (dimensions: 30” x 70”) perfect for a #liveedge piece. Thanks to @danlundgren for locating this beauty! #woodslabwednesday #woodworking #TreesofLA #woodfurniture #woodslab #lumber #urbanlumber

What’s in the shop? This gorgeous #olive slab (dimensions: 24” x 48”) dry & ready to use in your next project. #woodslabwednesday #onathursday #woodworking #TreesofLA #woodfurniture #woodslab #lumber #urbanlumber

This #Redwood countertop (108” × 42”) came from a tree that was the victim of a construction project. Despite the circumstances, we salvaged much of the trunk. It yielded many slabs & dimensional pieces including this beautiful countertop. #fridayfunday #woodworking #TreesofLA

[DC Treeworks @DCTreeworks]

What’s in the shop? This #ShemalAsh slab (52” x 90”) dry & ready to use in your next project. This beast of a trunk grew too large next to a nearby home. Too heavy to lift with a crane, had to mill on site. #woodslabwednesday #woodworking #woodslab #urbanlumber #TreesofLA

After the tree company took this #Redwood down at a home in #Malibu, they craned the logs up & over a wall so we could mill them on site. After #milling, they craned the new #slabs back over to be placed as a table & benches on the client’s property. #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork

Here’s a quick *FOLLOW-UP* about the #CanaryPine Trees out of #Pasadena: Got them on the #TimberKing, slabbed up, & ready to begin drying! Loving the beautiful & distinctive grain pattern #nolandfill #salvagedwood #reclaimedwood #lumber #liveedgeslabs #woodslabs #sawmill

The #WoolseyFire took their house and burned their trees. Jumped at the chance to help them #reclaim their cherished #Sycamore to be a 10 ft dining room table. #home

Rescued these 90ft Canary #Pine trees that were situated right next to a home on a hillside. It's fascinating to think about their inherent beauty & what they will become. #nolandfill #urbanlogging #urbanlumber #salvagedwood #reclaimedwood #lumber #canarypine #timber #trees
