To find locally sourced hardwoods that are both enviromentally friendly and afforable. And thust the journey began, i purchased woodmizer in 2008. I was hooked from the very first cut, it was something primal turning a tree into a log, and then that log into a board.

Joe does amazing work. We designed an unusual and unique coffee table with him, and he delivered a piece of true artistry, even better than we had imagined. The more time we spend with it, the more we love it. He was a pleasure to deal with. It's unlikely you'll find this quality of craftsmanship anywhere else.

I am building a stand up desk and wanted to use quarter sawn white oak. I found Joe online and and drove down to see him. He suggest Rt 5 out of Richmond as it is a scenic route- good suggestion!
He showed me a few pieces of wood, we talked about the shape on the edge and the finish. A couple of weeks later I had my top and a matching shelf. It was just what I was looking for and had a great, durable finish, perfect for a desk. If you need something made of wood, I am sure Joe is the right guy.
Now I am just waiting on my Iron shelf supports to be made.

Joe was awesome in helping us find the perfect piece for a live edge coffee table we're making. He has a wide array of wood species, sizes, thicknesses, etc. and was really knowledgeable. We ended up purchasing a lovely slab of elm that came from Church Hill. We plan to go back for some additional pieces and will recommend Urban Forest Hardwoods to everyone we know!
