Furniture with history to PRESERVE

Narrative tale: Turning My Grandfather’s Cherry Tree into a Cherished Heirloom

As I stand beneath the sprawling branches of my grandfather’s cherry tree, I’m reminded of the many summers spent at the cottage he built with his own hands. The tree, now tall and leaning precariously toward the cottage, carries with it a rich tapestry of memories. This tree isn’t just a part of the landscape; it’s a living connection to my grandfather’s legacy and the countless moments of joy shared in his summer home.

Rather than letting this cherished tree be reduced to wood chips, I see an opportunity to honor my grandfather’s memory. Imagine a dining table where the rich cherry wood, once a part of this majestic tree, now serves as a centerpiece for future family gatherings. A tangible reminder of my grandfather’s enduring presence and the family traditions he nurtured. It’s a beautiful tribute that ensures the tree’s legacy will live on, not just in memory, but in the very heart of our home.

As we craft these pieces, we’re not just preserving wood; we’re preserving a legacy of love, craftsmanship, and family. It’s a fitting tribute to a tree that has stood as a silent witness to the joy and unity of generations past and will continue to enrich the lives of those who come after us.

Step 3: Kiln Drying and Flattening

If you’re working with fresh-cut, "green" (wet) wood, it’s essential to dry and sterilize it before use. Our iDRY vacuum kilns are designed to effectively eliminate bugs, mold, and fungus. Our iDRY Vacuum Kilns not only comply with USDA Heat Sterilization Requirements but also dry wood 3 to 5 times faster than traditional kilns. This allows us to process your lumber in just weeks, rather than months. Furthermore, vacuum kiln technology excels at drying thick, wide slabs all the way through to the core, ensuring top-quality results for your wood projects.

Next, we move on to flattening. Should any bowing occur before or after the kiln drying process, our flattener can effortlessly correct it. We purposely cut our slabs thicker on our sawmills to account for potential bowing, ensuring that you retain the desired thickness for your board.

(Note: If you’re purchasing slabs from our wall, you don’t need to worry about kiln drying—every slab has already been sterilized.)

Step 4: Furniture Making Time

Creating furniture involves a meticulous and detailed process to ensure every piece meets our high standards. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we bring your custom furniture to life:

  1. Initial Cutting: We start by cutting the raw slabs to your desired dimensions using our sawmills. This step ensures that the pieces are the right size for your project and allows us to accommodate any specific design elements you have in mind.

  2. Bark Removal: Once the slabs are cut, we carefully remove any bark to achieve a clean and smooth surface. This not only enhances the appearance but also prepares the wood for the next stages.

  3. Epoxy Mix and Pour: For pieces that feature epoxy, we build custom molds and carefully mix and pour the epoxy according to your color choices and design specifications. This process allows us to fill any gaps or cracks and to create unique, visually striking elements.

  4. Flattening: If needed, we use our flattener to correct any bowing or warping that may have occurred during drying or handling. This ensures a perfectly flat surface for the final touches.

  5. Planing: We run the slabs through our planning machine to ensure uniform thickness and to further smooth the surface. This step is crucial for achieving a consistent, even texture across the entire piece.

  6. PTEC or Epoxy Puddy: Used for filling any small cracks and crevices.

  7. Sanding: The slabs are then sanded to smooth out rough areas and imperfections. This process helps to reveal the wood's natural beauty and prepares it for finishing.

  8. Edge Rounding: We round over the edges of the piece to enhance both its aesthetics and safety. This detail adds a polished look and ensures comfortable use.

  9. Apply Finishing Coats: Finally, we apply a protective treatment and finish to seal the wood and bring out its natural luster. This coating not only enhances the appearance but also provides durability and resistance to wear.

Each step in our process is performed with care and precision to ensure that your furniture is not only beautiful but also of the highest quality. From the initial cut to the final finish, our commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail is evident in every piece we create.
