Owned and operated by Ty Putnam, Forged of Wood is a specialty hardwood lumber shop and a mixed material fabrication wood shop located South of Knoxville, IL. We saw logs harvested from central Illinois, then dry the lumber to

ly condition it to remove tension, and sterilize to kill any insects or mold in our 10,000 board foot wood kilns. We then surface plane and strait line rip our lumber before we sell the finished lumber on site from our climate controlled board room. Because we have control of the entire process you can be sure our lumber is of the highest quality, properly dried, acclimated, and ready to use. We also operate a custom woodworking shop where we create unique one of a kind furniture, cabinets, and hardware for homes and businesses. Bring us your ideas and let us bring them to life for you, whether it’s a single piece you have in mind, or a business full of tables and stools. Contact Ty for more info on messenger or at:
