we are the hardwood project
​

everything we do begins at ground level
our finished products are dreamt up with each hand sawn plank

​the results

​and these are some of the reasons why we put the groundwork in.
​

it doesn't matter how long it takes, or how many things we create, we never forget the tree it came from.

the premise of the hardwood project is that it will behave much like a tree.
it will simply continue to grow.
as more ideas evolve, so will the product page expand.

the hardwood project has no limits and its legacy will outlive anyone reading these pages.

first

reclaim

reclaim may be a little pompous. actually, and for the most part, we take it before the bugs, nature and fungus get a hold. almost all the trees we mill have already found the ground from storm damage. the remainder has a terminal illness and we'd rather see it put to purpose.

Next

wait

timber needs to season. kiln drying and pressure treating expedite this process but we prefer to air dry. depending on the species, thickness, sap content and water percentage, this can take anywhere between 6 months and a number of years. good things come to those....etc

​and then

create

and then, perhaps just like the perfect malt whisky, and when the moisture content reads right, it's that amazing moment in which all your plans and dreams finally become real. when we plane that first  board in a seasoned stack. to be perfectly honest, it's play time.
