Learning about old forestry techniques in Oregon. This isn't really urban lumber related, but still interesting how they did things 100 years ago. The notches in this old trunk were for a wooden plank called a springboard. They were used by tree fallers so that they could stand above the base to make it easier to cut the trunk with axes and saws.
It was great meeting Dave from @epilogue_llc yesterday. He's got an impressive operation utilizing urban trees from the Portland area. Also good meeting Miles and Katrina from @timberdoodlefarm who happened to be visiting Oregon at the same time as us. Thanks for having us Dave!

Our Philosophy

Harvest Lumber Company produces quality lumber with wood waste from Central Texas. After years of seeing countless trees being mulched and plenty of buildings being demolished, we felt a call to save this material. As two professional woodworkers we were excited to develop a wood processing facility that could mill, dry and retail this precious material. As stewards of the environment and longtime Austinites, we felt drawn to make a positive impact in our community. Our transparent operation located in Central Austin demonstrates real recycling at work and offers a variety of products for sale to the public. Harvest Lumber Company provides resources and guidance to both professional and novice woodworkers.  We look forward to helping you begin your next woodworking project.

     Thanks,  
Kris Burns and Andrew Danziger
Owners, Harvest Lumber Company
