Our Sawmill

In an industry filled with middlemen, our remote sawmill operation gives us the ability to supplement our wood room inventory with local hardwoods that have a unique story.

With the help of local tree services companies, we are able to salvage hundreds of urban logs each year that were destined for the mulch mill. Once a log is milled into lumber, each board is stacked and stickered to begin the drying process. From there, the lumber is air dried until it is ready to be finished off in the kiln. We run two kilns, a dehumidification kiln and vacuum kiln, both providing high quality kiln dried lumber that is sterilized from bugs and critters. Once the lumber is properly kiln dried, each board/slab is surfaced through the planer or flatten on the Slab CNC. This extra step allows our customers to be able to see the grain, character, and color of the wood while shopping in our showroom. 

“ This passion has led us down an unexpected path of turning a fun hobby into a family owned small business… ”
