The Hillco Partners Texas Pecan Table: A Legacy Rooted in Austin

A wooden plaque with engraved text and a logo, stating it is a Certificate of Authenticity for a Texas Pecan named Hillco Partners, with details about its age, breed, rescue location, serial number, and handmade origin.

Crafted and designed by the Texas Urban Sawmill, the Hillco Partners conference table is more than just furniture—it’s a story of local heritage and sustainability. This stunning quad-matched showpiece was handcrafted from a rescued Texas pecan tree that once stood less than two miles from Hillco’s downtown Austin office.

From tree to table, every step—from sourcing and milling to final construction—was completed within 40 miles of Austin, making this one of our most environmentally responsible, carbon-negative projects to date. The table not only preserves the natural beauty and rich history of a native Texas pecan, but also symbolizes Hillco’s commitment to excellence. Just as the tree was carefully transformed with purpose and precision, Hillco’s professionals work tirelessly to advance your goals and deliver meaningful, strategic results.

This is the very Pecan tree that was rescued from 3rd Street in Austin, TX in 2021—and later transformed into the Hillco Partners conference table.
