Their most popular piece requested are dining room tables, usually made of Black Walnut. Though they also design bar tops, countertops and epoxy tables — to name a few. He also notes that while people typically request Black Walnut, he is beginning to see a trend in requests for exotic wood like Spanish Walnut — Parota.

Deol says most workshops join two or more pieces together in order to create large tables. However, his company uses a single slab. They furthermore take extra steps to source that material for their clients, whether it’s 6’x3’ or 12’x5’ in size.

For the majority of projects, Deol says he is able to provide documentation showing where the lumber came from. Furthermore, he uses “locally salvaged trees” for most of their projects and aren’t using fresh cut lumber from a forest — which is even better for the environment. Rather, the local pieces come from trees that were cut due to disease, burning or damaged.

Their works do not have to be made strictly for indoor use either. Since they create their projects based on client specifications, Lumber Avenue is able to adjust accordingly. Deol says the products are supposed to last for a lifetime.

“We put in proper care to make sure that any product we provide will withstand any elements encountered,” Deol says.

When looking at using epoxy in the design, which is growing in popularity and not slowing down, he says it is meant to enhance the colour of the wood itself. Deol says Spalted Maple is a personal favourite, noting the finished look is “gorgeous,” particularly with a blue epoxy added.

The price of the piece can vary from $1,200-3,000+ (CAD) due to the specifications of the piece, including type of wood, base and legs as well as the design itself.
