Services
Kiln-Dried Lumber
Our kiln-dried lumber undergoes 90+ days of natural air drying followed by computer-controlled steam kiln processing to achieve optimal moisture content. This specialized process prevents warping and ensures dimensional stability for flooring, cabinetry, and furniture applications. Each batch receives dual NHLA inspections to guarantee premium quality standards.
Green Lumber
We provide freshly milled green lumber directly from our sawmill for manufacturers who prefer in-house drying processes. This minimally processed product maintains natural moisture content for specialized applications like flooring production where controlled drying is required.
Industrial Lumber
Our industrial lumber is precision-milled from log centers for heavy-duty applications including pallet cants, sewer sheathing, and board roads. While containing more natural imperfections, this cost-effective solution maintains structural integrity for demanding construction and manufacturing uses.
Custom Milling
We offer customized milling solutions using computer-automated optimization systems for head rig, re-saw, edger, and trimmer operations. This technology ensures precise dimensional accuracy and maximized yield for specialty lumber requirements across various industries.
Nationwide Shipping
Our dedicated fleet of tractor-trailers provides reliable delivery of lumber orders to any location. This in-house transportation system ensures timely shipments while maintaining quality control throughout the distribution process for all product types.
