Our Woodshop: Breathing New Life into Trees
At Ned Patchett Consulting (NPC), we love trees—and we love wood.
While tree removal is never our first choice, there are times when it’s necessary to protect homes, landscapes, or public safety. When that time comes, we do everything we can to honor the legacy of each tree. Our approach is rooted in sustainability, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the natural world.
That’s where our woodshop comes in.
Sustainably Reclaimed, Beautifully Reimagined
Our in-house woodshop gives new purpose to trees we’ve had to remove. Rather than let these magnificent trees go to waste, we carefully recycle and mill the wood, transforming it into functional works of art. From custom furniture like tables, benches, and live-edge pieces to epoxy river tables, hand-crafted guitars, and unique sculptural designs, we let the natural character of the wood shine through.
Every piece tells a story—and every grain is a reminder of the tree’s original grandeur.
A Legacy Preserved
Sometimes, a tree holds more than shade or beauty—it holds memories. When clients face the emotional decision to remove a beloved tree, we specialize in helping them preserve its legacy. Whether it shaded a childhood home, stood tall at a family gathering place, or simply brought joy through the seasons, we can turn that tree into a memory piece.
A handcrafted table, a bench, or even a guitar made from the very wood of a cherished tree has brought many of our clients comfort and a lasting way to honor what once grew strong outside their window.
Crafted by Experience and Passion
The NPC woodshop is led by Kevin Patchett, a seasoned arborist and master craftsman. With decades of experience in tree care and woodworking, Kevin brings each project to life with skill, creativity, and an artist’s eye for detail. His creations showcase the inherent beauty of wood, combining form and function into heirloom-quality pieces.
Whether it’s a rustic dining table, a dramatic live-edge coffee table with vibrant epoxy detail, or a keepsake carved from a beloved backyard tree, each item is one of a kind—just like the story behind it.
Your Vision, Our Craft
Our clients are often the source of inspiration. If you have an idea or a dream project in mind, we’d love to hear it. From design through finish, we’ll work with you to craft something meaningful and enduring—whether it’s from a memory tree or reclaimed local lumber.
