About Deadwood Revival Design
Ten years of giving trees a second life.
Danny and Mitch worked wildland fire for the U.S. Forest Service before they turned saving trees into a business. That was 2016. Ten years and more than 500 custom tables later, the shop is in Paso Robles.

"Everything that lives must die. But the cool thing with trees is they can be brought back to life."
Who runs the shop
Started by two former wildland firefighters.
Danny Torres and Mitch McCormick both worked wildland fire for the U.S. Forest Service. In 2016 they started Deadwood Revival Design in San Luis Obispo, to give good trees a second life instead of a trip to the chipper. The shop is in Paso Robles now.
They still run it together: Mitch leads design, and Danny leads sales and the client side.

The shop and the yard
The mill, the kiln and the shop are ours.
Most furniture makers buy their lumber. We start with the tree. We tag and photograph the wood, and when we know where a tree grew, it goes on the record.


-
The mill
We mill the logs ourselves, in our yard.
-
The kiln
We dry the wood before we build with it. Our kiln-dried slabs come out at 8 to 12% moisture.
-
The shop
Our own team builds in wood and steel: the tops, the bases and the cabinets.


Visit
Come see the wood in person.
Walk the slabs, see what's on the bench, and put your hands on the wood before you decide. The easiest way in is a consult: thirty minutes about your room and the wood, at the shop or by video or phone.
