Cody Wayland is a full-circle sawyer and wood artist in Port Townsend, Washington. He specializes in the tree-to-project process. He partners with Jefferson Land Trust to keep lumber local, support local ecology, and a sustainable economy. Wayland founded a timber collective to support local sawyers and develop more sustainable ways for humans to engage with shelter and the land.

Wayland holds a BA in Studio Art from Colorado College and has since continued cultivating a deep relationship with the creation process. Wayland’s practice led him to create large timer letters, design an education pavilion of logs milled from the land site, and build a home within city limits of all local lumber.

He lives in a forest-surrounded meadow with his wife and three children.
