Welcome To Kidogo

Local - Sustainable - Live Edge Slabs | Hardwood Lumber | Fireplace Mantels | Wood Turning Blanks

Nestled in the hills of Kentucky's horse country, Kidogo Farm prides itself on bringing the forest floor to your floor by delivering quality hardwood products. Founded just outside of the city of Louisville, KY in the heart of Oldham county, we specialize in making Kentucky's legendary black walnut, black cherry, maple or other hardwood species that are native to this region accessible to carpenters, woodworkers, furniture makers and craftsmen alike. In the spirit of sustainability, we source locally grown trees that would otherwise be destined for a landfill and give them a second life by milling them to display the gorgeous natural wood grain. In addition to live edge slabs and hardwood lumber, we also offer premium bundled firewood and a selection of flavorful smoking woods such as cherry, hickory, oak and maple.

Kidogo Farm's name was inspired by the word "small" in Swahili. This embodies our commitment to small, local and sustainable business. Whether it's a live edge slab for your unique, heirloom furniture piece, or a statement-making live edge bar top, countertop or rustic fireplace mantle, make sure to view our current inventory of live edge slabs and hardwood lumber.  Also please check out our ebay store for a wide variety of wood turning bowl blanks, spindle turning blanks, hollow form turning blanks that wood turner's use to create works of art on their lathe!  We also custom mill gorgeous rustic fireplace mantels.  In our ebay store we also offer smaller live edge slabs for diy and craft projects that are used to make great live edge shelf, cutting boards, serving trays, charcuterie boards or anything else you can think of to create!

What We Do Here

At Kidogo we focus on three distinct areas of wood processing. All of our wood products, from beautiful live edge wood slabs and hardwood lumber, wood turning blanks, live edge shelf, rustic fireplace mantels options, to premium firewood and smoking wood are all sourced locally and sustainably.  We source trees that have come down naturally, due to a storm or other factors that require it to be taken down.  What this means to the end user of our products is that you are giving trees that were destined to be destroyed or put in a landfill, a second life to become something useful.  We also offer a nice selection of wood turning blanks for lathe turners.  You can view our current selection of bowl blanks, spindle blanks, hollow form blanks and smaller live edge boards in our Ebay Store:

"Figure, Figure, Figure..."

Wow, just wow!  These beautiful, highly figured maple slabs are fresh off the sawmill and ready for purchase if you are interested in green slabs to dry yourself.  In this lot there are nine live edge slabs sized from 5/4 and 8/4 thick.  The width of these slabs range from 12" to 20" wide.  These slabs are right at 5' long and would make wonderful large live edge table tops or excellent hardwood lumber for any project you may have. There are also shorter slabs from the same log that would be great for matching end table tops to complete a set!
