Our Company

Tropical American Timber is an importer of beautiful, handpicked wood slabs from Central America, and a producer of custom slab tables here in Gainesville, FL. 

We specialize in Monkeypod and Parota live edge wood slabs, along with a rotating inventory of exotic wood species: Teak, Brazilian Cherry, Purpleheart, Bubinga, Meranti, Espavel, and Pochote, to name a few.  We also stock a variety of domestic hardwoods, including White Oak, Live Oak, Black Walnut, and Cherry.

Owner and co founder, Calvin DiNicolo has a background in architecture, design, and fabrication, while co founder Anthony Traina spent years studying and working in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America.  The connections and experience that Anthony developed abroad is what allows us to provide the truly one-of-a-kind forest products that we import.
