Custom Furniture
We create tailored furniture pieces including dining tables, coffee tables, mantels, and kitchen counters. Our process begins with collaborative design consultations to understand client preferences and functional requirements. Using reclaimed wood from local construction sites, we craft durable, one-of-a-kind items that reflect individual style while maintaining environmental responsibility. Each piece undergoes meticulous finishing to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Slab Planing
Our advanced Slabmizer planer handles slabs up to 12ft long and 6ft wide, delivering precision surfacing for live-edge and specialty wood pieces. This service removes imperfections while preserving natural grain patterns, preparing materials for final finishing. The process accommodates varying wood conditions with adjustable processing rates, ensuring optimal results for both small projects and large-scale orders.
CNC Machine
The Laguna SmartShop M CNC machine enables intricate designs and custom engravings on wood surfaces. Ideal for personalized signs, detailed logos, and complex cuts, this service combines digital precision with traditional craftsmanship. Our team assists clients through design development to ensure accurate execution of artistic visions while maintaining structural integrity of the material.
Kiln Drying
We employ dual systems including a Nyle L200 dehumidification kiln and iDry vacuum kiln to achieve optimal moisture content in lumber. This controlled process prevents warping and cracking while preserving wood quality. The vacuum technology accelerates drying without compromising material integrity, preparing slabs and dimensional lumber for immediate use in various woodworking applications.
Metal Fabrication
Our metal shop produces custom steel bases, legs, and brackets to complement wooden structures. This service focuses on creating durable, aesthetically matched supports for tables, shelves, and architectural elements. We maintain inventory of standard components while offering bespoke fabrication to integrate seamlessly with unique woodwork designs.

I have used Russell wood selection for many design projects. From a live edge kitchen island, fireplace mantel, one of a kind floating shelves or gorgeous dining tables. There are tons of wood species and slabs to choose from at his shop. Definitely worth stopping by!

We worked with Derek. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. His customer service skills are excellent. We had a small, live edge table top made and it turned out amazing. We are extremely happy with our total experience

Love my table from Eco Friendly Lumber. I originally just bought the material and was going to finish myself, but after some unexpected splitting occurred they finished the job for me. Very nice and easy to work with. Excellent work. Wish they were a bit more communicative as my table was done for a couples weeks and I never received a call or email. Over all would highly recommend them.

Worked with me for a quarter of the year just to make sure my product was exactly what I needed for my Eagle Scout Project! As for their customer service, they sure put the Friendly in Eco Friendly Lumber! Wasn't ever treated disrespectfully when I was unsure of things and was greeted with a smile.
TL;DR
Great Customer Service, Great Product. Highly recommended!
