Urban Lumber Company
About Urban Lumber Company
Urban Lumber Company is a sawmill and wood shop in Kansas City, Missouri. It started in 2001. The business does not cut trees down. It saws logs that would otherwise go to waste, and it says all of its lumber comes from Kansas City trees. Its headquarters is in Kansas City, and it says it is moving to Independence and hopes to reopen there in September 2024. If you have a log, the process is simple. Bring it in on a trailer or with a tow truck and leave it. In a few weeks it comes back as lumber, cut the way you want, and you keep your own pile to work from. Custom sawing costs $100 an hour, and a clean 10 foot by 24 inch log takes about 2 hours to saw. The shop does not offer kiln drying, but it will show you how to dry lumber yourself and sells white oak stickers at $1.25 each. It saws walnut, elm, maple, cherry, white oak and ash. The shop also makes custom tables, shelves, vanities, bar tops and mantels. It does glue ups, planing, joining and flattening, and sanding and finishing. It serves Jackson County. In the business's own words, "Its all urban lumber." It suits a Kansas City area landowner with a walnut, elm or oak tree down who wants the boards kept for their own use or for furniture, and who can haul the log in.
