Keeping The Balance

Tree And Sawmill Managment
Logs from sawmill

We Want To Give More Than What We Take

Knots & Steel Live Edge And Design cares about our environment and trees that are cut down, and we understand that trees need to be removed for safety reasons and for regular forest management
Ash trees are a good example, They have been taking over by the Emerald Ash Borer all over North America. These trees that have been attacked by this bug most likely will die.
As the Ash tree slowly starts to die,  the top branch's usually break off and fall on the ground or on home roofs, and could even hit you or a family member, this is very unfortunate, but it could and it does happen.
Ash logs are not damaged by the Ash Borer, they take the life from the tree just under the bark.
We like to keep these logs out of our landfill sites, by sawmilling them and creating furniture and woodworking projects for home owners and professional furniture builders through out Canada and Ontario. 
Another example is, many years ago a tree could be planted too close to a house, like a Black Walnut tree that can easily grow 80 feet tall and have a trunk size of 4 feet in diameter, or a old Sugar Maple tree that has lived its full life and is dying.
We do understand that these trees are cut down by local  arborists and tree care professionals. 
And again we want to give this wood a new life by creating live edge furniture, like dinning tables, Coffee tables, home bars, river tables, and regular industrial live edge handmade wood projects.  
  

Our Way To Give Back To Our Enviroment

Dan Price (owner of Knots & Steel) has many years of experience and interest of organics and operates a earth friendly  organic  tree farm along with the sawmill and woodworking shop.
We grow our own trees, sell potted living Christmas trees, teach customers proper tree pruning and planting techniques.
We make compost tea, and have studied growing deep roots and how the secret is in the soil.
By selling affordable evergreen trees and privacy hedges at Kentucky Mountain Acres  we are giving back to our environment, which is very important to us all.
