Slabs and Lumber
Slabs
We have a tremendous variety of slabs from a selection of local hardwood species, in lengths from 4 feet to 20 feet, widths from 12 inches to 60 inches, and most commonly a thickness of 2.5 inches. We sometimes vary thicknesses when required, but we have found 2.5 inches sufficient to account for warping while drying, generally providing for a maximum finished thickness of around 2 inches.
Drying is included with all slab sales. Flattening and sanding are available for additional fees.
Lumber
We produce lumber in a range of thicknesses, from 4/4 (“four quarter”, 1” thick) to 12/4. Boards are milled at least 6” wide. We often have quarter, rift and flat sawn lumber available for a given species—give us a call if you are looking for something specific.
Custom Milling
Do you have a log you need sawn into slabs or lumber? Call us for our current hourly rate. We are happy to mill to your specifications and can help with transportation of logs and boules as well.
