Wood for the Local Good

Urban Lumber Company takes discarded trees and turns them into lumber that can be used for tables, cabinets, and other furniture.

Besides salvaging lumber and keeping it out of landfills, the company sells wood so you can create your one-of-a-kind piece. And they sell steel table bases named for local cities and districts—the Fairway, the Grandview, the West Bottoms and so on.

Or, maybe a storm knocked down your favorite tree. You can bring wood from your yard, and Urban Lumber can saw it to your specifications.

The company started 15 years ago, and up through April 2019, it had recycled more than 1.5 million pounds of tree wood through its services.
