Your Source for Locally Reclaimed "Urban Lumber"

Wood From The Hood produces high quality lumber and other wood products from the Twin Cities area "Urban Forest".  By reclaiming the old growth trees in our local area, we can produce high quality products from a sustainable resource and take one more step towards environmentally sensitive building and remodeling.

We offer custom harvesting, kiln drying, and milling to your specifications in addition to stock lumber and flooring.  Unique projects utilizing thick, thin, book matched and wide single boards are our specialty. Products from Flooring to millwork, furniture, mantles, picture frames, cutting boards and artistic wood crafting are only some of the uses for this rich resource that until recently, may have been in front of your home.

All of our lumber can be tracked to the zip code where it was harvested from. In special cases it can be tracked to a specific address.

Help to keep these trees "alive" by finding new uses for them. This website is here to educate and inform as well as creating a market for this forgotten, but now rediscovered, resource.
