Urban Lumber
Turning Urban Trees into Timeless Treasures
At Waxhaw Woodworks at Sunshine Acres, we specialize in transforming reclaimed urban trees into beautiful, sustainable lumber. Our process saves trees from the landfill and turns them into timeless pieces that can fill your space with character and warmth.
The Urban Lumber Process
Urban trees, often removed due to construction, storm damage, or disease, are an underutilized resource. At Waxhaw Woodworks, we see the potential in these trees to live on in a new form.
Our urban lumber service encompasses the following steps:
Tree Salvage
We collaborate with local arborists and city organizations to salvage trees that would otherwise be discarded.
Milling and Drying
Using state-of-the-art milling equipment, we carefully process the salvaged wood, turning it into slabs or lumber. Our kiln-drying process then ensures the wood is properly seasoned, preserving its beauty and stability.
Customization
Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, a professional woodworker, or looking for custom furniture, our urban lumber is available for a variety of projects. We offer custom milling services to meet your specific needs and dimensions.
Why Choose Urban Lumber?
Urban lumber reduces waste and the carbon footprint associated with transporting and processing new timber. Urban trees also often have unique characteristics not found in commercially farmed lumber, such as unusual grain patterns, knots, and colors. Each piece of urban lumber tells a story of its origins, adding a layer of local history and significance to your projects or products.
Our Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
At Waxhaw Woodworks at Sunshine Acres, sustainability and craftsmanship go hand in hand. We are committed to providing high-quality, sustainably sourced urban lumber that meets your project needs while contributing to a healthier planet. Our process is carefully designed to ensure that each piece of lumber reflects the beauty and integrity of the tree from which it came.
