My buddy Rob Durfos does amazing work making wood that nobody wants into something very useful, and very cool, and very beautiful. As you may know by now, Rob specializes in using reclaimed lumber from trees around the state that sometimes, nobody wants. Trees downed by storms, utility company clearings, and at times he'll have a semi with a flat bed come in with logs from Northern California. Long story short, mother earth likes Rob Durfos of Tule Peak. She likes to see her treasured trees receive the attention they deserve instead heading off to the pulp mill for paper.

Here are a few cabinets Rob constructed from a tree that was more then likely heading to the pulp mill or ground cover, or the fireplace. Thanks Rob for the work you do.

From this

To this!  Well, he has allot left over, but this was part of that log! Rob call this series of furnishings his "Mutt Series". Yes, he has a sense of humor!

And, Tule Peak Timber is a serious supporter of our site and our troops.
