Experience the Beauty of Urban Wood at Our Wood-Mizer Open House – April 5th

Experience the Beauty of Urban Wood at Our Wood-Mizer Open House – April 5th   Wood lovers, makers, and curious minds—this one’s for you! On April 5th from 9 AM to 12 Noon, we’re hosting a Wood-Mizer Open House at The Urban Wood Store, and you’re invited to come see the magic of urban wood transformation firsthand. If you’ve ever wondered how urban trees are turned into the stunning slabs, boards, and live-edge pieces you see in our store, this is your chance to watch the process in real-time. Our Wood-Mizer sawmills will be running, demonstrating how we mill locally salvaged logs into high-quality, one-of-a-kind wood products. Urban wood has a story to tell, and we’re passionate about preserving its history. With AncesTREE, we track each piece’s journey—where it came from, its species, and its transformation—so you can bring home more than just lumber; you bring home its legacy. For these three hours, our store will be open for browsing and shopping. Whether you’re looking for a live-edge slab for your next project or just want to learn more about urban lumber, this is the perfect opportunity to explore our selection and ask questions.   Where: The USRW Urban Wood Store 1334 Melody Rd Olivehurst CA 95961 When: April ...

The Madrone we purchased from Far West was some of the most beautiful burl we have used to decorate our boxes. It is a more difficult wood to work with as it needs to be sealed to prevent it cracking and splitting. For instance, we cut the burl we purchased into blocks and then either coat them with wax or wrap up in a saran-type material until we are ready to cut them into smaller pieces for drying in the toaster oven.

I’ve been using Eucalyptus and walnut acquired from Far West for my knife handles. The Eucalyptus is a really hard wood but sands nice to a pretty finish. The black walnut is a little easier to work with, as it is not as hard as the Euc., but, both woods work great for my handles.
