Wood Jointing
At John’s Urban Timber, our wood jointing services bring precision and craftsmanship together to ensure every slab and project fits seamlessly. Whether you’re creating a wide tabletop, countertop, or unique piece of reclaimed furniture, we use proven joinery methods to create smooth, stable joints that last.
All slabs are processed here at the shop, no outside work from others.
Every piece of wood we work with is reclaimed from local homeowners, tree services, or customer-supplied logs — never commercially harvested.
Our team flattens, planes, joins, and finishes all boards to your exact project requirements. Whether you’re having us join live-edge slabs into a dining table or create wide panels for custom installations, you can count on our consistency and attention to detail.
We don’t keep dimensional lumber in stock, but we’re happy to prepare it upon request for larger custom projects.
