What we do

We don’t just supply lumber—we produce it. With our own logging operations, sawmill, and kilns, we control every step to ensure quality, consistency, and sustainability. Whether you're a builder, craftsman, or furniture maker, our precision-milled hardwoods deliver durability, stability, and beauty you can trust.

Kiln-Dried Hardwood

We offer a selection of premium hardwoods, including White Oak, Walnut, Elm, Ash, and more, all sourced from our responsibly managed forests. Our kiln-drying process ensures optimal moisture content, reducing movement and improving workability for a flawless end product.

Grading Options

Not all projects require the same grade of lumber. That’s why we offer select and better grades, allowing you to choose the perfect balance of quality and cost for your specific needs. Every board is graded in-house for consistency and reliability.

Specialty Cuts

For those who require enhanced stability, unique grain patterns, or a refined aesthetic, we offer rift-sawn, quarter-sawn, and flat-sawn options. These cuts are ideal for furniture makers, flooring specialists, and millwork shops looking for precision and performance.

Custom Dimensions & Finishing

We know that off-the-shelf sizes don’t always work. That’s why we provide custom milling services, including S4S (surfaced on four sides), cut-to-length, and fully tailored solutions through our expert millworks team. Whether you need extra-wide planks, long-length boards, or a unique profile, we can make it happen.
