The Dee Mill is an urban salvage sawmill near Hood River, Oregon.
The mill gathers trees slated for removal and turns them, one by one, into lumber, tabletops, and other custom products.
“My favorite part of the process is seeing what’s inside a tree trunk and figuring out what it could become with a little work.. it’s fascinating because you can see the story of how the tree grew up.
You can see mineral streaks, growth rings, scars and nails from a treehouse. We’ve even found bones and golf balls embedded in the slabs. Each tree is absorbing everything around it.
When we slice into it, we’re like, ‘Whoa!’—every time.”
