Maple Lobby Table

‘It’s one of a kind’

Downtown’s first new hotel in 30 years opens this week with luxury from top to bottom

“A maple tree that had to come down because of its age and health (it had been dropping a branch through Nike’s roof) was recycled into a large coffee table for the Inn lobby and smaller end tables for the rooms by Urban Lumber Co. of Springfield. Mantels in the 62 rooms with fireplaces were made of wood recycled from Nike’s counters, ticking both Obie’s sense of place and green practice boxes.”

Flying Slab

seth — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:49:43 +0000

We recently slabbed up a beautiful walnut log. At 18′ long, 40″ wide, and 3″ thick, these pieces weigh about 1000 lbs each. Because of their size and weight, the best way for us to handle them is with our crane truck. Its nerve racking to risk crushing the mill, but neat to see such a huge piece of wood flying through the air. Click the following link to watch a video of a slab being handled: Flying Slab

Monster Incense Cedar

This huge incense cedar came down today after being damaged in a recent storm. The 80 ton crane removal was nerve racking but went perfectly. Come check it out at or store, or let us know if you are interested in very large slabs, or rounds. More information and pictures can be found on our facebook page here.
