New Workshop Completed

· News, Our History · ,

_mg_01623The work we do requires space. Lots of space. That means we need mountains and fields in which to find trees, acres of land to deliver, organize, and mill, tens of thousands of square feet to air dry, store, (and play) and a huge workshop in order to reincarnate these trees as works of art. We happened upon a 30 acre farm, with two 12,000 square foot steel buildings, a hoop structure (read “greenhouse”) for air drying slabs, and a 15,000 square foot concrete slab on which to operate custom sawmills (our sawyers seem to prefer the great outdoors for some reason). With a development loan from the Catskill Watershed Commission we were on our way and converted this crazy place from a dairy farm to a tailor made facility with room for infinite expansion.
