Our Services

As of now, all lumber sold is GREEN. This may be straight off the mill or in various stages of air drying, but should not be considered to be dried lumber. All lumber shrinks (mainly in width and thickness, but very little in length) as it dries to it’s equilibrium. In many instances, such as utility lumber, Post and Beam construction, and board and batten siding, green lumber can be advantageous because it is less prone to splitting and is easier to work. It is not recommended for immediate use for finish work, fine furniture, and other applications where shrinkage would change the appearance or functionality (gaps or cracks occur, especially in climate controlled spaces). We price this accordingly. We hope to offer kiln dried lumber shortly, but we do not offer it at the moment.

  • We offer rough cut dimensional lumber for your various projects. We can source many types of hardwood and softwood to match your needs. Let us fill your order for exactly what you want.

  • Sometimes it can be very difficult to find large posts or beams for your major project such as a barn or timber frame structure. We can cut any number of species in lengths up to 25’ and as wide as 26”. Few mills are capable of handling these large timbers or do not want to take the time or effort to mill these specialty products. Let us help you with your project; we love a challenge.

  • We love the look of classic board and batten siding and the Lord has given us many great local species such as Hemlock and Eastern White Pine to use for it. Board and batten siding goes up great when it is green because it is more resistant to splitting and cracking than its dry counterparts. We offer numerous sizes and affordable prices on siding as well as furring strips and other thin boards.

  • Live edge pieces are very popular these days due to their organic and natural looks. At the moment, we only offer these slabs or boards green (not air or kiln dried), so they usually must dry for various lengths of time before being used. Because we don’t dry these boards, we can offer them to you at very affordable prices for you to dry them on your own and use them.

  • If you would like to turn your logs into lumber, we will mill your logs that are delivered to the mill and give you boards in return. This is a nice option if you have multiple logs, a way to load them, and some projects in mind that you would like to use lumber for. This can prove to be an advantage over portable mills sometimes because you do not have to pay for us to travel, set up, and tear down and you also do not need to deal with the waste/by-products. We also have a highly productive mill and have set-up our operation for efficient material handling.

    Requirements:

    -Logs must be mostly free of debris and all limbs must be cut within 2” of the log.

    -Logs must be under 36” and larger than 8” in diameter. They must be at least 6 feet in length and under 25 feet.

    -Logs must be delivered to the mill site and be able to be unloaded with forks (preferable) or straps.

    -There is a $30 fee if we hit metal-it destroys our $40 blades and we must throw them away.

    -We charge by the hour on these logs which is beneficial to the customer. Any amount of time that you spend cleaning the logs, sourcing quality logs, prepping them for easy unload, etc, is time that we obviously do not charge you. Our fee is $100/hr and we have a 2 hour minimum to include unloading the logs. Depending on the species, clean and straight logs that arrive ready to be unloaded can yield up to 500 bd. ft. per hour, which works out to $0.20/bd ft. That is hard to beat.

  • Lumber for items such as crane mats, dunnage, shoring, and more can be difficult to source and shipping it from far away usually isn’t cost effective. We can get you the lumber that you need to keep your business running.
