Where do your logs come from?
All of our lumber is sourced from trees locally salvaged from construction sites throughout Northern Virginia. We are committed to preserving these trees by rescuing them from being sent to the chipper or grinder, and instead, we recycle them into beautiful, high-quality lumber and live-edge slabs. We do not engage in tree cutting or removal. For tree removal services, we recommend contacting R.E. Martin Tree Specialists.
Is your lumber kiln dried?
Yes, we have two advanced kilns on-site to ensure the best drying conditions for our wood. In addition to our Nyle L200M system, we also utilize an iDry vacuum kiln. The vacuum kiln operates by creating a low-pressure environment that accelerates the drying process while preserving the wood's natural integrity. By lowering the boiling point of water, the vacuum kiln allows moisture to evaporate more efficiently, reducing the risk of warping, cracking, or internal stress in the wood. We dry all our lumber to furniture-grade specifications, which typically ranges between 6-8% moisture content, ensuring optimal stability and quality. Together, our kilns provide the perfect environment for drying, with times typically ranging from one week to one month, depending on the type of wood and its initial moisture content.
