Services
Circle-sawn flooring
Marks Lumber's circle-sawn flooring is crafted from durable Montana-grown Douglas fir, featuring a distinctive textured surface that hides scratches and enhances rustic charm. Ideal for mountain modern or farmhouse interiors, this flooring combines strength with aesthetic appeal. Each board is kiln-dried and end-matched for seamless installation, offering customization through unfinished surfaces ready for staining.
Wood siding
Our wood siding options, including shiplap and board-and-batten, provide weather-resistant durability and natural beauty. Sourced from sustainably harvested Douglas fir, these products offer versatility for traditional or contemporary designs. The circle-sawn texture adds character while maintaining structural integrity for long-term performance.
Timbers
Full-dimension timbers are hand-graded for quality and strength, suitable for timber frame homes or structural supports. Available in custom sizes, these circle-sawn beams combine functionality with visual appeal, enhancing architectural features like entryways and pergolas.
Trim and fascia
Marks Lumber provides rough-sawn trim and fascia boards for completing custom home projects. These products, available in #1 and #2 grades, offer a rustic finish that complements flooring and siding while ensuring durability for both interior and exterior applications.
Sawmill services
As a specialty sawmill, we convert raw logs into tailored lumber products using sustainable methods. Our services include kiln drying, grading, and custom cutting to meet specific project requirements, supporting both small-scale and large-scale construction needs.
