Please Welcome Our Newest Member, Maine Timber Arts!

Maine Timber Arts, led by arborist Jason Lepper and woodturner Christina Marie, is a small business based on the Blue Hill Peninsula which specializes in salvaging logs from tree removal jobs and turning them into a wide array of handmade items. Jason, Christina and the crew work on hazard tree removals, clearing for new construction and storm cleanup.

Logs are saved from these jobs and then sawn, shaped and sized to be crafted in a variety of ways into beautiful one of a kind pieces covering a range of uses both decorative and functional. Maine Timber Arts creates everything from bowls and charcuterie boards to wooden Bluetooth speakers and “chipnic tables”….and so much more.

They have a passion for repurposing these logs, revealing the beauty and potential inside and sharing it with you. Many examples of their work can be seen throughout the Blue Hill area and beyond, truly putting nature on display with pieces to be used inside or outside your home, camp or business.
