Dozens of trees cleared to build Gables Vining Village were milled by Eutree and crafted into fine woodwork for the development by Madera Arts.
Gables worked closely with Arbor Tree Specialists and a local grading company to recover, store and preserve the trees from the site.
Eutree collaborated with Madera Arts to provide a detailed inventory summary and recommendation to Gables design team to maximize utilization of the potential lumber from each log.
Eutree milled each of the logs into lumber and slabs on its Wood-Mizer 1000 sawmill.
Logs sawed into slabs for tables, countertops and benches are stacked, stickered and labeled. Each slab stack was re-located to the lumberyard where they will spend several months air-drying.
After slabs completed air drying to lower moisture levels below 20 percent, they are moved into the kilns to complete the drying process.
Boards are stickered and automatically stacked on Eutree’s Woodflow board stacker.
Eutree flattens and surfaces the slabs to prepare them for the craftsmen at Madera Arts to begin making furniture items.
The character in the wood tells the story of the original trees on the property that were given a second life to be enjoyed by the community’s residents for years to come.
