Small, local, sustainable — since 2012.
A tree that stood for a century shouldn't end as mulch. We moved to the farm in 2012 and founded Wild Edge Woodcraft in 2020 to teach our three sons self-reliance, perseverance, and service — and every board that leaves the farm is a Triangle-area tree saved from the firewood pile.
"He picked up our logs and returned them as a jaw-dropping masterpiece that will be cherished for generations. He milled the logs, kiln-dried them, and went to work on our one-of-a-kind work of art."— Marcy Ray, tree-to-table customer
