CUSTOM-MADE FROM SAN FRANCISCO What is interesting about Arbor Upcycle is the fact that it also serves DIY consumer markets. You can create your own unique item with ready-to-use slabs; even the most casual do-it-yourselfer can build stunning pieces for their home. Within the San Francisco area, there are a good number of DIY woodworkers who enjoy creating their own masterpieces for their homes. However, most don’t have space or budget for the larger tools and machinery needed to finish projects completely. Arbor Upcycle addresses this issue by providing planing and milling services. They can custom mill to whatever size customers need, surfacing and planing pieces up to seven feet wide using their Woodpecker router sled. The Wood-Mizer LT40 can mill logs up to six feet in diameter and up to twenty-one feet in length, while the Alaskan Mill can mill logs up to five and a half inches wide and of infinite length.
OPTIMISING MORE WITH THE MILLING MACHINE Arbor Upcycle has also made a massive breakthrough with the latest creation of Lucas Mill Super Slabber. It’s very exciting to know that bigger and better slabs are in the making. It also means an increased inventory for Rochat and his team. Previously, they could only mill logs up to six feet in diameter. But now, it allows Arbor Upcycle to mill logs up to nine feet in diameter. “We are so fortunate to be a small but mighty and ever-growing company and are proud to be able to upcycle as many trees as we can around the San Francisco Bay Area,” Rochat explained. Arbor Upcycle not only helps with world sustainability but also means carbon sequestration for our environment,
historical salvage of San Francisco’s past, and a unique local lumber resource for the community. The only tree to-table in San Francisco has taken a new meaning from waste and created something unique and purposeful.
