The interior design elements of the project focused on the unique qualities and beauty of the State Tree of Texas. The Texas Urban Sawmill additionally repurposed a variety of additional species such as sycamore and live oaks which we sold back into the community as kiln-dried lumber or heirloom furniture pieces.
