Urban Tree Salvage

We just finished something fun — a commercial fixture build for Vivobarefoot Toronto , a global shoe store opening in Toronto.

Vivobarefoot is a B Corp with a genuine sustainability mandate, and part of that is using locally salvaged wood in their retail locations. Sounds like our kind of client.

We built floating shelves and log round displays from ash we salvaged from Toronto's municipal forestry waste — trees taken down due to the emerald ash borer. Chunky spruce beam benches from salvaged Toronto street trees round out the build.

Toronto wood, headed back to Toronto. We love when that happens.

Enjoy some shop pics of the build. Next pics will be from the finished store once everything's installed at Queen and Bathurst — stay tuned. And if you're looking for some sustainably conscious shoes, be sure to check them out!

Two family businesses. One industrial park. The best Saturday in Carling.
 
If you've never made the drive out to Ritchie Drive, here's your reason: come see our furniture showroom, then drive down the street to our neighbours at Norse Brewery for a cold pint and one of their homemade burgers.
 
🔨      We build custom furniture from reclaimed Ontario wood. Built to your specifications, you are part of the entire process.
 
🍺      They brew all-natural craft beer and cook what might be the best burger in the Parry Sound District.

💙 Both family-run, both right here in Nobel.
 
 
Make an afternoon of it. In the Parry Sound Industrial Park, just off Woods Road.

Siberian elm doesn't get talked about enough.

The grain has this natural zig-zag pattern you don't really see in other hardwoods, and a natural finish brings out this warm honey colour that's hard not to love.

22.5” × 43” x 16”, 2.5 inches thick — chunkier than our usual stock — sitting on a stance base made from the same reclaimed elm. Two wood panels, connected by a simple metal frame. Clean lines, warm wood, nothing overdone.

Works in a contemporary space. Works in a rustic one. Siberian elm has a way of fitting in without disappearing.

This one's ready to go to a new home.

These are not your average coffee tables.

Four chunky log rounds — 14 inches thick, spalted Ontario wood, salvaged from Toronto trees — now sitting in the showroom waiting to become someone's statement piece.

Sizes range from 36" round up to 3×4.5 feet, and every one rides on casters so you can actually move it.

We build them to order, so if one of these calls your name, reach out and we'll make it yours.

Just off the press. 📣 Calling all History buffs — we've got a bench you'll want to hear about.

We just finished a five-foot old growth hemlock beam bench built from reclaimed wood salvaged from the Toronto Ferry Terminal — a historic building that's now the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal Wharf.

Built in 1912, this wood's got serious Toronto history behind it, discovered during excavation at Bay street and Harbour street. If you've got a connection to the city or just love the rustic, chunky beam aesthetic that's perfect for cottage country, this one's for you.

It's available for sale now, and we also have more unfinished pieces if you're looking for a different length.

Curious about the story behind it? Check out our BLOG found on our website for the full history.

First cut of the season 🪓

With the snow finally melting, we’ve got the sawmill back up and running.

Here’s Sean squaring up a willow cube side table. After kiln drying, wood naturally shifts and moves — so we bring it back to the mill to flatten and true everything up so it sits solid and level. It’s all part of working with salvaged, real wood — every piece has its own personality.

Stay tuned, lots more coming this spring. If you’ve got a spot that needs something like this, we’ve got more pieces coming 👀

🍁 Five stunning Silver Maple slabs — and these ones are something special.

Live edge, 2.5" thick, and ranging from 24" to 54" wide and 6-7' long — each one completely unique and absolutely packed with character. Once they're sanded and finished, these are going to be spectacular.

Perfect for a one-of-a-kind dining table, desk, or a statement coffee table that stops people in their tracks. No two will ever look the same.

Some pieces are available unfinished if you want to tackle it yourself, or we can create something custom for you — top only or a full piece with a base design of your choice. Either way, we're here to help bring your vision to life.

Contact us for pricing, or DM us here— happy to chat! 😊
