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.
Wood is more than material — it’s history. Our passion is to preserve that story and give it new life.
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.
Discover the beauty of locally reclaimed slabs and kiln-dried lumber, designed and built to fit your space perfectly.
With over 25 years of hands-on experience, John has built John’s Urban Timber around a passion for reclaiming wood and giving it new life. Every log that comes through the shop — from storm-damaged trees to urban removals — is carefully milled, kiln-dried, and finished under his guidance. His eye for detail and commitment to craftsmanship ensure that every slab, mantel, countertop, and custom piece is both functional and one-of-a-kind.
