Large Capacity, small details
At Living Wood, we specialize in oversize and difficult to make components. If you need a part that isn't available, chances are we can make it. We are happy to supply the wood or use yours.
Lathe Work - Our 1911 Oliver lathe (pictured at left) is 99 years old and counting. It has a capacity of 24" X 108". We have created mantle legs, oversize stair parts, architectural columns, and table bases. Straight or tapered, solid or hollow, fluted or smooth, we can build to your design.
Re-sawing - We can re-saw materials up to 21" thick by 144" long. We saw veneers, re-size timbers, cut trim out of reclaimed materials.
Re-Milling - We can joint materials up to 15" wide which allows us to re-mill old and twisted lumber into square and straight stock for mantles, bar tops, posts, and beams
Sanding - Our 50" wide sander can handle tables, bar tops, and other large flat surfaces.
Larger capacity = fewer design constraints and more possibilities

We have access to a wide variety of new and reclaimed species of wood from around the world
You can select your own materials based on cost, color, figure, suitability, and age.
