OUR MISSION

Our mission is to promote environmental stewardship and a larger appreciation of our urban forests through the utilization of locally felled Texas hardwoods. We are a sustainable, low waste company, using only trees salvaged by our tree service in everything we make. We use it all. If it’s not a table, the wood is used in utensils, cutting boards, firewood and also the mulch we blend to build soil for the next generation of urban forests. We are made in Texas by Texans.

Sustainable. Functional. Beautiful.

Steve has built many a custom cabinet, he can install any sort of wood in a pinch, he's one helluva wood turner and runs our kilns like nobody's business. Steve always has one eye on the wood kilns, as they produce the slabs that are the lifeblood of what we create. When Steve isn't playing Super Dad he can be found jamming old school punk rock and dropping into local half pipes around town.
