Slabs and Lumber
in lengths from 4’ to 20’, widths from 12” to 60”, and most commonly a thickness of 2.5”.
We sometimes vary thicknesses when required by a specific project, but over the years we have found 2.5” is thick enough to account for the warping that slabs tend to experience while drying and allow for plenty of choice when it comes time to design a piece.
Custom Milling Available
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.
Lumber
We also 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 will mill quarter, rift or flat sawn lumber depending on the species and size of the log and what types of lumber we will need for upcoming projects. Custom milling is available upon request.
