The Woodpreneur Podcast (Formerly the Sawmill Business Podcast) started three years ago and we’re curious, what difference have these past three years made for Urbn Timber? Treg says they’ve, Gone from a 1200 sqft. space to a 12,000 sqft. Shop Opened a showroom  Opened a metal shop Bought a kiln and are now able to dry about 6,000 to 8,000 board feet at a time. Treg credits their increased drying time, various equipment updates, a high level of attentive and passionate customer service, and the company’s unique ownership setup for the boom that the business has gone through.  Their unique partnership is set up like this - Urbn Timber is run by three different owners, all with different strengths. This partnership not only gives them the ability to step back and focus solely on what they’re individually good at, but it also provides a built-in support group where they’re able to bounce ideas off of each other.
