Planning Services
Our planning services are designed to create smooth, even surfaces on your wood, removing imperfections and ensuring the wood is uniformly flat and ready for further use. Whether you’re working on a custom furniture piece or a construction project, we have the equipment to handle both large and small boards.
We use a Helical Planer that can handle boards up to 20 inches wide, making it ideal for preparing wood for projects like:

Furniture components
Planning ensures that each board is level and smooth, giving you the perfect surface to work with.

We offer precision machining services that include:
Jointing material
in preparation for glue-ups or joining wood slabs.
Resawing material
into thinner pieces or smaller dimensions based on your project requirements.
Cut-to-size services
ensuring your lumber is perfectly cut to your specifications.
Machining is essential for projects that require precise dimensions and smooth edges, whether you’re building furniture, custom cabinetry, or other wood products.
Flattening Services
Our flattening services are ideal for large slabs or epoxy tables that require a perfectly level surface for use in high-end furniture or custom projects. Using our CNC machine and other flattening tools, we can handle slabs up to 4 feet wide and 16 feet long, ensuring that your large wood pieces are ready for further processing or assembly.
Flattening is particularly useful for projects like:
