OUR STORY
Robert Rising (the "BlackLumberjack") is a vegetarian who mills his own grains, while also being proficient in antique restoration. In 2004, he set out to build his own house out of local wood. After a successful but difficult search, he decided to continue on, and help others to find quality, local NYC wood.
NYCitySlab, a company operated and run by Robert Rising, is dedicated to saving fallen trees and rescuing and recycling beautiful slabs from prevalent destruction and waste, transforming every last piece into works of masterful craftsmanship and function for any home or custom designed project. We welcome quote requests, consumer, residential design or hospitality/commercial.
