How to cut a tree into a table
September 20, 2007
There's something wonderfully honest about seeing a slab of wood, knots and all, fashioned into a piece of furniture with the shape of the trunk ringing the rough edges.
And there's something just plain wonderful about the phrase Slabs for Sale. It appears on the website of Urban Hardwoods, a Seattle company with over 18 pages of ash, walnut, redwood, and maple that have been reclaimed from urban trees that would otherwise be burned, chipped, or headed to the landfill.
So let's review: a mound of mulch, or the western walnut writing desk shown above. I think Urban Hardwoods is doing the right thing--hope I'm not going too far out on a limb to say so.

I've been waiting for just these types of woods to make an appearance in the Hardware Aisle. Good, Solid, Hard Woods.
