Apparently the Urban Hardwoods model was an inspiration. He should have no trouble filling the market and I have been surprised more people in this area are not doing this type of product given the nature and size of our local flora.

Here is a guy in Belmont that does really nice stuff.

I visited the owner in San Francisco this summer and they have similar outfits in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
A monster slab cleaned up in the San Fran store was selling for 14K.

These guys in Manhattan also do high end slab furniture.

WOW!! Thanks for sharing and thanks to Kyle for the additional links. Looks like I may be making a trip to Belmont in the near future. Great work and great ideas. Glad to see folks making a living at something they enjoy. Now I don't feel so alone out here playing with my logs and slabs. :banana:
