Beauty From Ashes

Zion Mills Wood Rescue has found a unique opportunity to rescue old pallets from certain destruction. Not just any pallets, but true hardwood slats, all rough sawn and nailed tightly together. The rescue is in pulling out all nails, organizing hardwoods by species and milling it to usable lumber.

Our idea is to create quality hardwood products out of discarded natural resources.

Our mission is to provide an opportunity for anyone to create their own hardwood projects using recycled lumber. 

Saving hardwood pallets is just the beginning of Zion Mills rescue and renewal mission. Creating beautiful hardwood cabinets, furniture, table tops, cutting boards...well, anything our creative minds can see is the next step in our process. 

These hardwoods are international exotic species that just happened to carry the weight of some unspecified burden. Mainly from West Africa and Central and South America, hardwood species include:

Celtis, Ilomba, Faveria, Okoume. 

Making discarded pallets into high quality hardwood products is Zion Mills' way of uncovering the deep beauty, we believe,  inside of every living thing and the redeeming value of caring for natural resources. 

We are proud believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the redemptive power of his shed blood on the cross.

Grace helps us to see beauty all around us, while creating our own unique beauty to the glory of God.
