Our new showroom, from start to finish!

The last few months have been quite the journey for us at KJP! It started with an idea, then a couple dozen sketches, and then the talented Derek from Within The Grain brought our visions to life! We could not be happier with the final outcome and highly recommend Derek for all your building needs. He is fantastic at renovations of any type. He can even create decorative wood turnings & carvings to display in your home. 

Drop by the store and see the new showroom in person! And feel free to share... you can follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Here are pics from start to finish. (Please excuse the iPhone photos) 

Looking back, it's hard to believe there wasn't always a hole there!

And voila, we are excited to say "IT'S DONE!"

In our new showroom, you will find hundreds of live edge slabs, serving trays, and live edge boards. We also have a section at the back dedicated to barn board, rustic timbers etc.

You can pick your board, select your legs (we have wood and hairpin available), choose your finish, and wood glue. A one-stop-shop for creating beautiful, custom furniture! 

From the truck - to the showroom

Our showroom is FULL of wood. But it's not as easy as dropping skids with a forklift.... here's a peak into what KJP does to provide all this beautiful wood for our customers! 

Our most recent shipment. This was about 2/3 of what was on the truck. 

Skid by skid, lumber that is 8ft or less in length is brought into the warehouse by forklift. Note: the warehouse, not the showroom. 

Generally everything else is brought in by hand... 

These Zebrawood 'cookies' are huge! Glad we had the forklift for bringing these into the warehouse..

Each board is brought from the warehouse to the workshop (by hand), then individually planed so you can see the grain. (skip dressed) The final step: bringing the new wood into the showroom and individually pricing each board. 

4/4 and 8/4 Nogal - Just in

4/4 Padauk & 8/4 Yellowheart - Just in

Visit our What's New page for the rest of this shipment. We added over 25 tons to our inventory - your next visit will certainly be different!

Just sand and oil

Huh? Well now that I have your attention...

We have recently added a new section of the store to include pre-finished boards in a variety of wood species! These are an ideal solution for those that love wood, but don't have the tools.  Perfect for cutting boards and serving trays.

They have been planed on both sides and the edges have been routed. Livos is a great finish to add durability, food contact protection and to really pop the grain - ideal for serving trays. For a food safe finish, we recommend Bamboo Goo or Clapham's Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish.

Don't forget - we can also engrave just about anything to personalize your project!
