Who we are

Founded in 1998, Brian & Carla Urbany have been the owner/operators of
Hardwood Lumber and Millwork
since 2017.
Welcome to Hardwood Lumber and Millwork — a woodworking destination that’s way more than just a place to buy lumber.
​
We’re a husband-and-wife team who decided to combine our skills, our passions, and a little bit of grit to build something truly special. Brian brings 28 years of experience as a machinist, turning raw materials into precise works. Carla spent 26 years in the world of corporate marketing, learning how to create experiences people love. Together, we’ve created a shopping experience where woodworkers, DIYers, and dreamers alike can find what they need — and have fun doing it.
​
At Hardwood Lumber, we offer a wide variety of domestic and exotic wood species, all stored flat to keep the wood stable and ready for your projects. Our shop can assist you with your project as much or as little as you need, from surfacing material to large glue-ups.
​
But we don’t stop there. As a full-service woodworking shop, we handcraft beautiful, custom wood tables, countertops, butcher block, hollow beams and mantels, and so much more!
Our Philosophy: Build for Generations, Not Landfills
We believe in the timeless beauty and strength of natural, renewable hardwoods. In a world where "fast furniture" — cheaply made, disposable products — is flooding landfills, we’re committed to offering something better.
​
Did you know that over 12 million tons of furniture waste end up in U.S. landfills every year? Much of that is the result of mass-produced, low-quality furniture made from particleboard and plastics — materials that are designed to fail in just a few years.
In contrast, genuine hardwood furniture is a true investment. Solid wood pieces are classic, durable, and can be refinished and reworked, and passed down through generations. We believe real wood furniture should evolve with your style and your family — becoming part of your story, not part of the landfill.​
