The team helped us find exactly the right slab and the finished table came out incredible. The craftsmanship was excellent from start to finish.

Our Story
About Us
25+ years milling hardwood in San Leandro — here's how we work, what we've built, and what clients say about it.
OUR STORY
Started on the shop floor, still there today
Bebewoodwork&sawmills started as a small San Leandro lumberyard and grew into a full milling shop because customers kept asking for more than just boards. Today we source, mill, build and finish everything ourselves — from a single live-edge dining table to a full house of decking, siding, flooring and trim — so nothing gets handed off to someone who didn't cut the wood.
25+ years in, the yard is still stocked by hand, the knives are still set in-house, and every board that leaves the shop has been through our hands more than once.
WHAT WE DO
Six things, one shop
Everything below is sourced, milled and finished in San Leandro — nothing is farmed out.
Custom Tables
Live-edge walnut slabs on steel or timber bases, finished for a lifetime of dinners.
Milled Decking
Hardwood decking milled to profile, from hidden fastener systems to stair treads.
Milled Siding
Rain screen, shiplap and tongue-and-groove siding run to your architect's detail.
Milled Flooring
Solid and engineered flooring, tongue-and-groove machined in our San Leandro shop.
All Trim Work
Casings, jambs, soffits and custom mouldings matched to your species and grain.
Lumber & Slabs
Kiln-dried hardwood lumber and a standing inventory of wide slabs, sold by the board.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Our values
Craft over shortcuts
We take the extra pass on a slab or the extra day on a finish if that's what the piece needs.
Bay Area roots
Sourced, milled and built in San Leandro — not shipped in from somewhere else.
Honest about wood
We'll tell you what a board can and can't do before you commit to it.
Built to outlast us
Every piece is joined and finished to be handed down, not replaced.
