Starting with the Best: Raw Lumber Selection

It all starts with the quality of the raw lumber we use. Quality materials are essential for specialty woodworking in Ohio that stands the test of time. An expert assessment at the very beginning helps us select wood with the right strength, grain, and workability for a particular project. Each wood species offers its own unique look, feel, and performance, so we choose carefully based on the project’s needs.

Precision Milling — Turning Lumber into Usable Components

Next comes the milling process. During this stage, sawing, drying, and surfacing equipment is used to prepare wood for manufacturing. This helps ensure consistent dimensions, smooth surfaces, and accurate grain orientation. With precision milling, we’re able to eliminate imperfections in the raw timber so the wood will be ready for advanced machining.

Expert Craftsmanship Meets Technology

After lumber has been milled, our seasoned professionals can begin transforming it for other uses. At Gerber Wood, our team blends time-honored artisanal skills with the latest in woodworking technology like CNC routing and custom tooling. The technology supports our craftsmanship, allowing us to give our specialty wood products the artistry, quality, and attention to detail they deserve, while also achieving an unmatched level of consistency and precision.

This combination allows us to produce a wide range of wood products, from personalized gifts to architectural components, stair parts, and trim. We’re always happy to get client input to help shape the project based on your specific needs.

Quality Assurance and Final Touches

At Gerber Wood, we believe in treating every product as if we were making it for ourselves. This makes quality assurance a top priority every step of the way. We verify consistency and performance throughout manufacturing, all the way through finishing processes like sanding, coating, engraving, and packaging that elevate the wood’s appearance and longevity. Bringing attention to detail to every stage helps our products last, while giving you results you’ll love.
