Custom Timber Needs
If it’s made from wood, we can make it happen. From one-off specialty cuts to large-scale custom orders, we provide tailored solutions to meet unique project requirements.
Builders and manufacturers rely on us for strong, reliable dimensional and construction lumber. Precision-cut and graded in-house, our lumber meets strict industry standards for durability and performance.
When standard sizes won’t cut it, we will. We offer custom milling to meet exact specifications, including longer lengths, rare species, specific grade and knot requirements, and custom dimensions.
We produce mulch, bark, sawdust, wood chips, slab wood, pallet wood (softwood & hardwood), and packaging wood—essential materials for agriculture, landscaping, and manufacturing
Pallet and packaging manufacturers depend on us for strong, reliable wood that stands up to heavy use. With both hardwood and softwood options, we provide precisely cut material that maximizes strength while minimizing waste. Our in-house grading ensures consistent quality, giving you a dependable supply for your operation.
We supply top-quality veneer-grade and saw-grade logs for customers who demand the best raw materials. Carefully selected and graded, our logs meet the highest standards for strength, durability, and consistency.
For projects that require enhanced stability and refined aesthetics, we offer rift-sawn, quarter-sawn, and flat-sawn lumber. These precision cuts are ideal for furniture makers, millworks, and specialty builders who need performance and beauty in every board.
Engineered for endurance, our heavy-duty railroad ties and sleepers are built to withstand the toughest conditions, ensuring long-lasting support for rail infrastructure.
