At Salvage Woodworks, we design and build custom furniture in Nevada County using locally salvaged timber. As a family-run woodworking shop, we manage the entire process in-house—from milling logs at our sawmill to kiln drying and crafting finished pieces. This allows us to create one-of-a-kind furniture with unmatched quality, stability, and character.

We provide full-service craftsmanship from log to finished piece. Our offerings include custom furniture building, precise dimensional milling, professional slab flattening, vacuum kiln drying for stable lumber, and mobile sawmilling services that bring our expertise directly to your property. Whether you need raw material processed or a one-of-a-kind furniture piece built, we handle every step with quality and care.
