The Shop.

A look at the mills, kilns and heavy equipment that turn standing timber into useful wood.

Process

Every board passes through three stations, log yard, mill, kiln, before it leaves the property.

01

Custom-Built Mill

Built in-house to handle the unusual cuts other shops turn down.

02

Wood-Mizer LT70

Production thin-kerf milling: fast and accurate in every species we feed it.

03

Pettibone Super 8

Eight tons of lift, swing and reach. The Pettibone moves logs the way the logs want to be moved.

Drying

The Kilns

Slabs and boards finish in our drying kilns, brought down slowly to a moisture content suited to the build they’re heading toward.
