Did you know Louisville cuts down 55,000 trees within its own city limits every year?  We didn’t.  That is until we interviewed Josh Weber, owner of Timber Woodcraft located in Louisville, KY.  Timber Woodcraft is a family-owned company that partners with local arborists to salvage urban timber.  They repurpose that timber to provide milled and kiln-dried lumber as well as live edge slabs.  Join us as we interview Josh Weber and discuss why he and his wife, Krista, have built Timber Woodcraft into what it is today.  The passion they have for Louisville’s urban canopy and what they are doing to bring awareness to what we're doing to it each and every day.  

 

Check out timberwoodcraft.com to see what Josh and Krista have available in lumber and slabs, and check out their shop where they have some amazing handmade products.

Griffin Meredith and Tommy Lawson host Built In The Bluegrass, a conversation that digs into the stories behind the products and innovations coming from Kentucky. This isn't just about what gets made, but about the people who make it-the manufacturers, engineers, and creative minds who are building businesses and solving problems right here. Each episode pulls up a stool for a genuine talk, exploring the intersections of craft, technology, and smart business practices that define modern making. You'll hear about the unexpected challenges in a startup's first production run, the clever adaptation of an old-world skill to a new market, or how a family workshop evolved into a global supplier. The landscape of this podcast is rich with practical knowledge, from shop floor logistics and material science to the personal journeys of resilience and vision that fuel these ventures. It’s a direct line to the ingenuity thriving in our communities, offering a refreshingly grounded perspective on education, industry, and hands-on creation. Tune in to discover the tangible results of passion and hard work, and maybe even find a bit of inspiration for your own projects along the way.
