From the Storm,
Into Your Home
Muletown Timber was built on a simple belief: the most beautiful wood is already out there, waiting to be rescued.
How It Started
It began with a single storm-felled white oak on a farm outside Columbia. Rather than let it rot, we borrowed a sawmill, spent a weekend cutting, and ended up with slabs more beautiful than anything we'd seen in a store. That was 2019. We've never looked back.
Muletown Timber is a small operation — intentionally so. We source locally, mill ourselves, and do the finishing work in our own shop. Every piece we sell was a tree we knew.
Our Process
A Storm Topples a Giant
When storms hit middle Tennessee, we're on call. We identify freshly-fallen trees and act fast before decay sets in. Nothing is wasted.
The First Cut
We bring the mill to the tree. Portable sawmills let us work on-site, revealing the unique grain and character hidden inside for centuries. No two cuts are ever the same.
Drying & Curing
Each slab is air-dried and kiln-finished with care — a process that can take years. We don't rush it. Stability and character both demand patience.
Crafted by Hand
From rough slab to finished piece, every surface is worked by hand in our Columbia shop. We sand, finish, and inspect until each piece is worthy of the tree it came from.
We only work with locally-sourced, storm-fallen, or land-cleared timber. No old-growth logging, ever.
We don't rush drying, finishing, or fulfillment. A piece leaves our shop when it's ready — not a day before.
Every step happens within 50 miles of our shop in Columbia, Tennessee. Local wood, local hands.
