Reclaimed Re-imagined
A Family Company
Started in July of 2010 by Tadd Morris . At 2nd Chance Wood, we specialize in crafting one-of-a-kind pieces from live edge slabs sourced exclusively from urban-cut trees—giving new life to wood that would otherwise be discarded. Each slab we mill carries the unique story of its origin, whether it once shaded a neighborhood street or stood tall in a city park. With a deep respect for the natural character of the wood—knots, cracks, curves, and all—we transform these rescued trees into stunning, functional works of art. Rooted in sustainability and driven by craftsmanship, our mission is simple: honor the wood, preserve its story, and create pieces that last for generations. In 2024 We moved from Durand, to the family farm in Corunna to continue business of the same quality on a smaller scale.

From there, we work by hand to highlight the organic beauty in every grain, curve, and imperfection. Whether it becomes a dining table, mantel, or custom piece, every step of the process is guided by respect for the material and a commitment to quality. No two pieces are alike—because no two trees live the same story.
A flowing blend of nature and craftsmanship—this live edge slab is brought to life with a custom ri
