Ohio Wood Connection
Shop online our selection of premium vacuum kiln-dried lumber from a variety of live-edge slabs to dimensional hardwood to finished pieces. Ohio Wood Connection offers a wide assortment of wood slabs, dimensional hardwood and custom projects. All our wood comes locally from trees removed by property owners.

We upcycle the trees by milling and vacuum kiln-drying the wood into live-edge slabs. Various sizes are for sale to architects, builders, artisans, and DIYers. We also convert the wood into tables, benches, countertops, mantels and more for homeowners and businesses. Interested in learning more about kiln-dried lumber or about to start a new woodworking project?

I just went up to meet Marcus at his shop, thanks for spending some time with me showing me around! What an awesome selection of sizes, thicknesses and types-PLUS you couldn't find a nicer guy. I'm sure I will be back up to spend some $$ in the future. Someone who would spend the time for a newbie like me will get my business for sure!
We regularly stock an assortment of kiln-dried hardwood lumber. Reduction of moisture through our intricate drying methods eliminate the presence of distortion, unnatural staining, or drying stresses like warping or bowing. You can see our fantastic kiln in action when you browse our warehouse. Live edge slabs, burls, and hardwoods are sought for the creative design opportunities they present.
Since 2014, we have been supplying an assortment of kiln-dried live edge slabs and dimensional lumber (oak, ash, walnut, cherry), artisanal pieces, barn beams, and mantels. All of our wood is from logs that are hand-selected and sawn on-site. It is then vacuum dried in our kiln to help eliminate the presence of distortion, unnatural staining, bowing, and warping.
Vacuum drying is not a new technology, its use for drying wood has been around since the early 1900s, granted much research on this drying method has only been accomplished since the mid-1980s. In vacuum drying, wood is placed in an airtight vessel under less than atmospheric pressure, while heat is transferred to the material using one of several methods.

I wouldn’t buy premium wood from anywhere else but here. Not only is Marcus a stand-up guy, his selection and quality is the best around. I’ve used Ohio wood connection for years for my business and would recommend anyone looking for the best kiln dried wood around to do the same!

Very friendly owner. Caters to a specific clientele, probably the largest selection of live edge slabs in the area and other rough hewn domestics. everything appears to be cut and dried onsite. I look forward to having a project that needs his product again. Thank you!

We recently went to the shop to pick out something we could make into a centerpiece for my mom's birthday. There was such a great assortment of wood to choose from. Marcus gave us his expert insight on what would be unique and special for my mom, and our interaction with him was only good. I could tell that he really enjoys what he does, and the centerpiece looks great on the kitchen counter.

Excellent customer service. A gentleman asked me what project I was working on, explained how to find things, and told me where to find the smaller pieces I was looking for. I'm looking forward to going again to buy more wood in the future!
