Reusing and repurposing solid wood is a key part of our social mission of sustainability, even if it's just one custom furniture piece like a coffee table or a set of cutting boards at a time.

Hardwood furniture is becoming increasingly rare, as approximately 90% of all furniture made today consists of softwood, engineered wood, or MDF wrapped in 'wood grain' veneer. In contrast, custom furniture crafted from solid wood offers a unique and enduring option for those seeking quality. Additionally, solid wood cutting boards are a popular choice for their durability and aesthetic appeal.

Maple, Oak, Walnut, Birch, Cherry, Black Walnut... the list goes on and on. Each species and sub-species has unique coloring, density, and grain patterns, which are essential for custom furniture and cutting boards. Do you know any of these solid wood varieties?

If you have an idea for custom furniture or even unique cutting boards, but would like a little bit of help, drop us a line. Our designers can conceptualize and render your vision before building it with solid wood.

Keeping up a family tradition for the 3rd generation, I take pride in continuing the legacy of custom furniture craftsmanship started by my grandfather, Edgar J Lesko Sr., who co-founded Island Pond Millworking in Western Massachusetts. Together with my father, Edgar J Lesko Jr., they passed down a century of woodworking knowledge, including the art of creating solid wood cutting boards. I, Andrew J Lesko, am excited to share this expertise with my partner, Bhumi.
