What to Expect When You Visit

When you visit Street Tree Revival, expect to see stacks of carefully air-dried and kiln-dried hardwood boards in various thicknesses and grades. You’ll likely find unique figured pieces and character wood with distinctive grain patterns that tell the story of each reclaimed tree’s urban life.

The staff can help you calculate board footage for your project and explain the grading system, moisture content readings, and milling options. Many customers spend time hand-selecting individual boards, examining grain patterns and checking for defects to ensure their chosen lumber meets their project’s aesthetic and structural requirements.

Products & Materials

Street Tree Revival offers premium hardwood lumber in standard thicknesses from 4/4 to 12/4, available rough-sawn or surfaced to S2S or S4S specifications. Our domestic species include California walnut, white and red oak, hard maple, cherry, and ash, while exotic offerings feature species like padauk, purpleheart, and zebrawood when available.

All lumber is graded according to NHLA standards, with FAS (Firsts and Seconds) representing our highest grade for clear, defect-free boards. Select and #1 Common grades offer character wood with natural features perfect for rustic or live-edge projects. We maintain detailed moisture content records and can provide custom milling services including resawing, planing, and edge-gluing.

Beyond standard lumber, we specialize in figured wood pieces including curly maple, quilted walnut, and birdseye patterns. Our reclaimed urban timber often features unique characteristics from wire scarring, embedded metal, and growth patterns that create one-of-a-kind lumber unavailable through traditional forestry sources.

Who Shops Here

Our customers include professional furniture makers crafting heirloom pieces, cabinetmakers building custom kitchens and built-ins, fine woodworking enthusiasts working on weekend projects, and contractors seeking premium materials for high-end residential work. We also serve wood turners looking for unique blanks, sculptors working with natural forms, and hobbyists who appreciate the story behind reclaimed urban timber.
