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.
- Environmentally Responsible — 100% locally reclaimed wood
- Precision Craftsmanship — blending modern tools with time-tested techniques
- Quality You Can Trust — slabs and lumber prepared for long-lasting use
- Customer Commitment — personalized service on every project

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.
