Atlanta’s Urban Wood Recovery & Utilization Company
We help removed trees and clean woody material reach their highest-value use—from fine woodworking and local manufacturing to industrial wood products, biomass, biochar and soil applications.
Atlanta Forest Products develops local, traceable pathways for urban-harvested lumber, including live-edge slabs, dimensional stock, and material for furniture, architectural work, and local manufacturing.
We work with retail, nonprofit, and manufacturing partners to connect recovered wood with appropriate users. Product availability and specifications vary by species, dimensions, and project.
Biochar
AFP develops biochar and carbon-utilization pathways for clean urban wood residuals that are not suited for lumber or industrial products. Potential applications include soil improvement, stormwater management, erosion control, and environmental remediation.
AFP works with technology providers, researchers, land managers, and end users to evaluate production methods, product specifications, and responsible market deployment.
At Atlanta Forest Products, we specialize in professional sawmilling for urban and locally harvested logs. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to turn a special tree into custom furniture or a builder sourcing unique live edge slabs, our sawmill delivers precision-cut boards and slabs ready for your project.
We are equipped for everything from small specialty cuts to large slabs for tables, mantels, countertops, and architectural applications.
Our sawmilling process maximizes yield while preserving the natural character and figure of your wood, giving you high-quality slabs ready for flattening, planing, or kiln drying.
Vacuum kiln drying stabilizes slabs and boards while preserving their natural color and character. Drying time varies by species, thickness and starting moisture content. Sterilization-only cycles are also available for dry lumber that needs a controlled heat cycle. Contact us to discuss dimensions, objectives and scheduling.
At Atlanta Forest Products, we understand the frustration of working with warped or uneven lumber. That's why we offer a wood-mizer industrial flattener that can take care of even the most stubborn twists, cups, or bows. Don't settle for subpar wood - let us turn your lumber into a perfectly flat and usable material.
