LARGE BURLY LOGS,
TO SMALLER DECORATIVE TIMBERS.
When a meaningful or sentimental tree tragically dies or falls, Please do not chop and burn the wood. Renaissance Design recycles those beautiful logs. Mike transforms them into authentically unique pieces of furniture, decor, memorials or art for you to share and enjoy for years to come.
Bring your lumber to us, or we can bring the saw mill to you for custom cut slabs and timber, dried to perfection in one of three kilns. Finishing work in the shop can be commissioned, cooperative, coached or done-by-you.

On-Site Lumber Inventory
Renaissance Design Group is consistently preparing lumber all year round. Species on hand may include: Hickory, Red Oak, White Oak, Elm, Pine, Spruce, Cedar, Ash, Tamarak, Teak, Black Walnut and more… Inventory is turning over weekly, the best way to check our inventory is to give us a call or send us a lumber request.
Two Wood Drying Kilns
Renaissance Design Group has two lumber kilns. The first is indoors in a controlled environment. It is heated and equipped with dehumidification. Drying lumber up to 9 feet in length. The second is a solar kiln that operates eight months out of the year and will dry longer 14-foot slabs. *FYI: Planing lumber up to 25-inches wide & 12-feet long.
Wood or Log Recycling
Trees are such a valuable resource! When they die, or must be taken down it’s all too easy to burn them. Why not turn them into furniture? It can be difficult and expensive to rent a bobcat, a trailer and haul it away yourself. We do not take the trees down, but once on the ground, we can pick it up with our hoisted trailer and bring it back to the sawmill for milling. Maybe it is firewood or maybe it is meant for more. Call and ask Mike. Even if you do not need the log, perhaps we may buy it, depending on demand.

Epoxy Services & Mentorship
There is an art and style required to applying great epoxy. Like bodywork on a your vehicle, these projects require a professional approach. An entire project can possibly be ruined if the product is applied incorrectly. Renaissance Design specializes in epoxy application and will offer coaching and mentorship to those who want to learn or may be troubleshooting a botched application in a DIY.
