Oak City Customs turns fallen Triangle trees into custom furniture
Oak City Customs in Zebulon keeps fallen Triangle timber out of the landfill and turns it into custom tables, using kiln drying and urban lumber in its shop.
Oak City Customs in Zebulon is giving fallen Triangle trees a second life as custom furniture, pulling wood that might have been landfilled or pulped back into the shop as dining tables, conference tables and other one-off pieces. The company’s website says every custom product is manufactured at its facility in Zebulon, North Carolina, USA, and it brands the work “From Tree To Table®.”
For woodturners, the useful part is the material pipeline. Oak City Customs describes itself as a custom furniture and fabrication business that specializes in urban lumber, hand-crafted work, wood and metal services, and kiln drying. That mix matters when a tree comes down in the Triangle because of development, storms or natural decline: instead of becoming waste, the trunk can be milled, dried and sorted for furniture stock that holds value.
The company’s product line shows how far that stock can go. Oak City Customs lists custom dining tables, conference tables, coffee tables, epoxy river tables and company logo tables, along with firehouse logo tables. It is based in Zebulon, and the business says its work is built around recovering local timber and turning it into long-lasting pieces rather than sending it to a landfill.
There is also scale behind the shop-floor story. LinkedIn lists Oak City Customs LLC as a household and institutional furniture manufacturing company with 11-50 employees and 360 followers. Shop Local Raleigh identified Dylan Selinger as the owner in a 2025 feature, putting a name to the urban-lumber operation behind the custom work.
That is the practical takeaway for anyone looking at salvaged wood in their own community. Fallen Triangle trees are not just storm debris or development clearance; in a shop with the right drying and fabrication setup, they become stock with local character and a second market life. Oak City Customs has built its business around that idea, and its Zebulon facility shows how much usable wood is still sitting in the trees most people assume are already gone.
