Lumber Producer Offering Quality Products from Appalachian Hardwood

Our quality starts with the best raw materials available

Our production lines are set up and our employees are trained to emphasize quality over quantity. Every log is different and our skilled sawyers analyze each one to determine the best way to saw it to achieve the highest grade of lumber possible. And when they saw it, they saw it true, earning us a reputation among our customers for consistently delivering quality lumber of uniform thickness.

We handle every aspect of lumber production ourselves

From purchasing logs and standing timber to sawing the logs, to drying, storing, and selling the lumber. Because we control the entire process, we have the flexibility to accommodate you when you have a special need or request. If you need an order prepared for international export, we are ready to help.

we have the capacity to meet your needs
