Our Story

In 1982, we began to operate a company called Ben’s Tree and Shrub. We have loved this professional tree care company which allows us to take care of the trees in our urban forest. We utilize our excess logs for Woody River Hardwoods. Every piece of wood in our store or used by our craftsman is sourced from Ben’s Tree and Shrub.

I founded this company and named it after my two grandsons: Woody and River. It is my goal to instill in them the same love for trees that I have had. Sustainability is very important to us and using salvaged wood is one of the best ways to use what would otherwise be thrown away.

With several craftsmen to work with, we are a true tree-to-table experience. You will get a distinctive piece for your family that will last for generations. We mill, kiln dry, and surface the wood on our property. You’ll find our retail location in Claremore, Oklahoma. Whether you want to buy a beautiful piece of live-edge wood or a one-of-a-kind piece of craftsman furniture, we look forward to seeing you soon!
