Though full of voids, these Catalpa slabs have been cut extra think. Perfect for an epoxy project, this wood has an incredible luster, lightweight, works beautifully, and unique profile.

Before Chemical Engineering even offered doctoral degrees (1950’s), this Siberian Elm tree stood watch and shaded its students. An exotic species, this specimen grew in interesting ways, producing unique colors, grain, and figure in its wood as the main trunk split three ways. With remarkable aesthetics and potent pedigree any slab would make an heirloom table to be celebrated for generations.

This beautiful coffee tree stood proudly behind the Morea House complex. These 13’ long slabs have a mellow golden color and boast many wonderful properties for both indoor and outdoor projects. We have only 3 of many slabs listed at this point.

This rather large Honey Locust spent its 70-odd years outside one of the brick-front fraternity houses on Rugby Row. A wood cousin to Osage orange, with a lustrous golden-yellow color, this log produced some excellent slabs.

Though not sure where this tree grew, its butt log produced a number of solid, 9’ long, 30” wide slabs perfect for a wide variety of projects.

This red maple led an incredibly tough life on the Eastern slope behind Gilmer Hall. In doing so, it produced the most figured wood we have ever milled. Burl, compression figure, spalt, curl, ambrosia streaking and more in these unreal slabs.

This maple tree was long cared for - how do we know? There was a four-foot length of threaded rot through its failing leaders we had to remove before slabbing. The forked logs produced slabs rich with interesting moments and swirling colors.

Though the Highway Research building is not a happenin’ place, this tree stood guard since before it was built. At almost 100 years old, this Chestnut Oak, in the White Oak family, soaked up plenty of minerals and has neat patterning and burly edges.

These slabs come from a large white oak tree that stood on the West side of the Rotunda here at UVA. After the Rotunda basement, formerly a chemistry lab, was cleaned and emptied, the tree died - likely a result of some chemicals leeching into its roots.

This stately oak tree grew along McCormick Road providing shade to thousands over its 75 year lifespan. This is the second log in the huge tree, with interesting figure from all the limbs growing from its trunk.

Though not ancient by any means, this white pine stood for over 80 years, longer than some of our larger heritage logs. These slabs are mostly straight grain, with a few features and little taper along their 11’ length.

A stately tulip poplar (yellow-poplar) tree grew for 50 years on the NE side of the lot that would eventually house Alderman Library. Reaching five feet in diameter after another 75 years, the tree has come down in order for the expansion of the library's vast collection. Saved in incredible 13' logs, 10,000 lbs each, the tree stands to live a second life as remarkable tables, benches, and more. Each slab is 4" thick, to match its incredible width and length. Truly a piece of academic history at the University, this was one of oldest and largest trees on Grounds.

Nice straight slabs from a younger poplar that overshadowed the beautiful Dell across from the UVA Bookstore.

Another log without a home, this sycamore produced a pair of gorgeous bookmatched slabs with plenty of ray fleck and a gentle live edge.

This ages old white oak overlooked the West facade of the Sunnyside Property tucked behind Barracks shopping center until Spring 2022, when its eaten hollow trunk failed in a strom. 8 logs for milling came from this one gargantuan specimen.

Nestled between Cocke Hall, the Amphiteathre, and the Lawn was this impressive ash specimen, which likely dates to the William Pratt era at UVA. Imagine all the lawn ceremonies this tree saw since its beginnings in 1870!
