Live-edge pieces are a specialty at I ranched Out. To keep his products more eco-friendly, Ryan sources most of his wood from a gentleman in the City of Toronto who has a contract to remove damaged or fallen trees. Ryan takes these discarded trees and gives them new life in his products. Epoxy pieces are also a popular choice from I Branched Out, creating a lovely mix of natural materials and modern finishes!

Looking for something specific? Ryan also offers custom orders of all sizes and can make furniture and decor pieces perfectly designed for your specific project needs!

Ryan and the staff also believe in giving back to the community and often donate items to benefit local charities!
