About Ironwood Mills
Ironwood Mills operates from Phoenix, Arizona, where founder Scott Mills established the company in 2016. After more than two decades as an independent contractor, Mills turned a lifelong fascination with wood—sparked by a tool kit at age six—into a business that rescues discarded trees from the Phoenix metro area and transforms them into custom furniture and live‑edge slabs. The “urban lumber” model began with Mills personally hunting for unique logs in the desert, a practice that now feeds a small team of woodworkers. The shop at 8342 N. 7th Street houses a Lucas Mill 10‑30 (cuts logs up to 5′ diameter, 21′ long), a hydraulic Wood‑Mizer bandsaw, a Wood Wizz surfacing machine (up to 7 × 17 feet), and an iDRY vacuum kiln. Services include custom furniture fabrication, milling ($150/hour, one‑hour minimum), machine surfacing ($150/hour), and kiln drying ($2/board foot, 1,000‑board‑foot minimum). The team—Mills, Kit Vander Jagt (20 years’ experience), and Michael Toret (10+ years, including theatrical scenery and welding)—produces one‑off pieces and small batches. Primary customers are interior designers, architects, professional woodworkers, and homeowners. Designers source slabs and collaborate on custom tables and specialty items; woodworkers bring material for surfacing and kiln drying; homeowners commission finished furniture. The company also hosts team‑building workshops. Ironwood Mills differentiates itself through its urban‑lumber supply chain—turning neighborhood trees that would otherwise be chipped into furniture‑grade material—and through vacuum‑kiln drying that eliminates raised grain and reduces drying time. Mills describes the mission as a privilege: “to take a forgotten & unwanted tree and bring it back to life.”
