Processing:

Our goal is to craft the highest quality Tanoak available. The process encompasses many different stages of production--each offering opportunities to maximize quality. Out of the Woods harvests, saws, mills, and seasons all of it's Tanoak wood. This allows for complete control over the entire process to assure the finest quality available.

Our small size allows us to focus on fine craftsmanship through knowledge, experience and old fashioned hard work. Owner Dave Merchant saws, mills, and dries much of our wood himself. The Tan oak is quartersawn for maximum figure. Each plank is handcrafted--one at a time. No two boards are ever the same.

Out of the Woods has facilities for both air and kiln drying and we air dry our wood for months before slow kiln drying.
