Quality of Lumber
Our process & quality is important, each of our lumber packages is sorted by one-foot increments. Then, we stack and sticker at one-foot increments to ensure the flattest, most consistent lumber. We air-dry down to 25%, then kiln-dry with a vacuum kiln. This process can take from 45 days to 100 days, depending on thickness and species.
