Treasures to be Found...
The History of Our Woodworking Company
​
Magnum Lignum was created by a quiet, wood-loving man who prefers to keep a low profile – let’s call him Mr. L. A self-described wood nerd, Mr. L. has a number of business interests, and he operates them all using environmentally sound decision-making processes. This extends to the tree harvesting policy that we use at Magnum Lignum.
​
As an established woodworking company, we’re here to offer specialized services that allow you to take your home décor goals to the next level. Don’t hesitate to contact our hand-selected technicians to discuss your design ideas. We offer obligation-free consultations and always look forward to learning more about your desired projects.

Fine Woodworking Using Only Responsibly Sourced Lumber
All of the wood that we use in our shop comes from trees that have been selectively harvested. We apply a 3D approach to our harvest: dead, dying, and down. For instance, in the early 2000s, the emerald ash borer arrived in our forests. Since that time, the ash borers have decimated the standing ash trees. Many of these trees have fallen, and many are still standing. Mr. L. walks his properties and selects ash trees for harvest before they begin to rot. A similar situation has occurred with beech trees.
​
Once the trees have been felled (or found already on the ground) our crew cuts them into workable lengths – typically 12-16’. The logs are then separated for use as slabs or disks. With a sawmill capacity of up to 66” wide, we can turn almost any log into lumber - and that is exactly what we do! Once the logs have been cut into slabs or disks, they are carefully book-matched, stacked and stickered, and placed in one of our barns to begin the drying process.
To be sure, we not only use the trunks of the trees for our lumber, but we use the branches to create live-edge shelves, charcuterie boards, and other items. We currently have a small kiln and are expanding our drying capacity with the addition of a couple of solar kilns.
Woodworking Services Tailored to Your Preferences
Bring the luxury of the forest into your home with a live edge piece you can be sure has been crafted with great care. Perhaps you’re looking for a different type of furniture that stands apart from anything you can purchase at our local stores. Whatever the case, our woodworking services are tailored to your preferences precisely.
We spend the time needed to fully understand your goals and how the piece will play its part in perfecting a space in your home. From there, we carefully match you with the wood colors and species you desire and then get to work creating a design that matches your high expectations.
As soon as you have approved the design, we scrupulously work the wood into the shapes and sizes needed to fulfill your goals. It’s a real labor of love, and we are proud to be a part of the journey each finished product we create takes.
