John's Urban Timber

With over 20 years of experience, John’s Urban Timber has been turning reclaimed logs into timeless works of art. Every piece of wood tells a story — salvaged from local tree removals, storm-damaged logs, and urban recycling efforts, then milled, kiln-dried, and carefully finished in our Whitmore Lake workshop.

John

CEO & Founder

Wood is more than material — it’s history. Our passion is to preserve that story and give it new life.

Crafting Timeless Woodwork From Reclaimed Timber

Since 1998, we’ve been transforming locally reclaimed logs into kiln-dried slabs, live-edge furniture, and one-of-a-kind wood projects — each piece built to last for generations.
