About

I grew up in this business. My mother started Mill & Woods when I was a kid, and by the time I was 15 I was installing floors, loading trucks, and working trade shows. I put myself through college installing hardwood floors and came back full time in my 20s to work alongside my mom and dad. We started the manufacturing side in the early 2000s and have been building it ever since.

I did not choose this business. I was born into it. That is a different thing.

What We Make

We make hardwood floors, wall and ceiling cladding, and architectural millwork. American White Oak, American Walnut, Longleaf Heart Pine, and authentic reclaimed materials from our facility in Eatonton, Georgia. French Oak from our manufacturing partner Chêne de l'est in Alsace, who have been milling in those forests since 1964. Everything is stocked and finished here in the USA before it ships to you.

We are not a distribution company. We do not run 30,000 square feet per day of a single color to sell through a warehouse. Every finish on this site started as a custom floor we built for a specific designer or builder who needed something they could not find anywhere else. The colors became products because the floors were that good.

Our People

The people who have built this business with us are the reason it works. Darline has been selling our floors for over 20 years. Tom has been running production for just as long. Athena, Amanda, and the rest of the team — most of them have been here more than a decade. That kind of continuity is not common in this industry. It shows up in the work.

When you call us, you are talking to someone who knows the product, knows the process, and has probably seen your species and finish come off our line before. That is worth something.

What We Love

My favorite product is still wide plank Longleaf Heart Pine. The grain movement, the way it develops patina over time, the density of old growth material that you simply cannot replicate with anything farmed today. Pine Grove is the finish I keep coming back to. If you have never put real Heart Pine in a room, you do not know what you are missing.

More than any specific product, I love the challenge of a floor that does not exist yet. A designer calls with something specific in mind — a tone, a texture, a pattern nobody has made before — and we figure out how to build it. That is the part of this business that keeps me interested after three decades.

Our French Partnership

For French Oak, we work with one mill. Chêne de l'Est has been milling in the Alsace region of France since 1964, harvesting from the managed forests within 200 miles of their facility. Sebastien Bach and his team visit us in Georgia every month. The relationship is close enough that when you specify French Oak from Mill & Woods, you are getting material from people we know personally, finished to your specification in our workshop.

It is a real partnership. Not a sourcing agreement.

Our Standard

Every production run gets checked before it ships. When something is not right, we pull it. We do not call you after the fact. That is not a policy — it is just how people who care about their work operate.

We are a small company by design. We like it that way. It means every order matters and every customer gets someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
