Our Regularly Stocked Species
Pine
Pine is a cost-effective, versatile softwood that handles easily on the jobsite. It has a clean, natural grain with pale yellow tones, pine cuts smoothly, nails without splitting, and accepts paint or stain with minimal prep. It ‘s a go-to option for framing, interior trim packages, and budget-conscious custom builds.
Oak
Oak is a time-tested hardwood ideal for high-traffic flooring, custom cabinetry, and premium interior trim. Oak delivers exceptional density, structural stability, and wear resistance. Its deep, defined grain pattern takes stains exceptionally well, offering clients a high-end, classic finish that holds up to heavy daily use.
Poplar
Poplar is the industry standard for paint-grade trim, door casings, and cabinet face frames. Poplar features a tight, uniform grain and low sap content, allowing it to take primer and paint smoothly without raising the grain or bleeding through. It machines cleanly and installs quickly, making it a reliable for interior finish work.

Milling & Kiln-Drying Process
Quality lumber starts with proper milling and moisture control.
After logs are milled into boards, customers can choose between air-dried or kiln-dried lumber depending on their project requirements.
Our kiln-drying process includes:
Precision Milling
Logs are carefully cut into boards based on your requested dimensions.
Chamber Loading
The stacked lumber is placed inside a sealed kiln chamber.
Controlled Drying
Heat, airflow, and humidity are carefully managed to remove moisture from the wood.
Stable Finished Lumber
Moisture content is reduced from over 50% to approximately 6–12%, helping prevent:
● Warping
● Twisting
● Splitting
● Mold growth
● Insect damage
Most kiln drying takes approximately 2–4 weeks, depending on the species and lumber size.
Log Size Capabilities
Our mill can handle:
● Logs up to 26 feet long
● Logs up to 30 inches wide
Have oversized logs or questions about your material? Contact us and we’ll let you know if your
project is a good fit.
