About CR Mill

I'm Bernardo Urbina. I started Costa Rica Mill during the pandemic to bring Costa Rican Parota and Monkey Pod slabs to woodworkers in the US, straight from the source, without distributor markups.

I select every log myself, from farms in rural Costa Rica, and each one is harvested under a MINAE permit. We mill it, dry it in our own kiln and ship it north. Every slab on this site is stocked in Laurens, South Carolina, ready to ship.

My background is furniture design. You can see that work at bernardourbina.com. Here the job is simpler: honest slabs, each one measured, photographed and coded, so you know exactly which one you are buying.
