About Us
Learn More About Who We Are
We’re a custom furniture and sustainable hardwood supplier based in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Founded in 2008, we are passionate about creating uniquely-figured hardwood lumber, live edge slabs, and hand-crafted fine furniture from locally grown trees. These trees are often removed due to damage, illness, old age, or development. Our lumber is batch-milled and kiln-dried to accentuate each tree’s special characteristics.
Our Roots
While working as an arborist early in his career, owner Ryan Baldwin saw an opportunity to transform urban hardwood trees into high-quality hardwoods and fine furniture.
Each live edge slab is unique and truly one-of-a-kind, often taking more than 18 months to transform from a log into a finished product. We carefully mill and kiln dry each of our slabs to ensure stability and the highest quality.
Working one log at a time over several years, Ryan learned how to mill urban trees. He was continually amazed by the special character and dynamic wood grain he found hidden inside each log he milled. As he began to produce slabs and lumber, he grew excited at the potential to build a business around this special hardwood material.
Ryan built his first commercial furniture piece for a Boulder, Colorado law firm in 2008.
Since then the business has grown year after year. Driven by word-of-mouth referrals and a growing interest in sustainable wood products, Baldwin Hardwoods is now a top choice in the region for unique hardwood lumber, live edge slabs, and hand-crafted fine furniture.
