Yes. You can schedule a time to drop off your logs at our yard, where we will take inventory and schedule them for processing. We can also arrange for log pick-up if you do not have the ability to transport logs yourself.

Cost will vary depending on how your log is cut. Dimensional lumber takes longer to cut than live-edge, but typically one log will be cut within the minimum cost time frame.

It is best to store your lumber in a dry space with adequate air flow, using 1”x1” sticks (known as stickers) of dry hardwood cut to desired length. We have found dried Ash to be ideal as it will not stain your slabs during the air drying process.

Yes. We have a de-humidification kiln, which can dry up to 1500 boardfeet in one cycle. Before your lumber can be dried it must go through an air drying process to bring the moisture content below 25%. We also offer lumber storage, which includes; stacking, stickering and moisture monitoring if you are unable to store your own lumber for air-drying.

Kiln drying and storage are priced by the board foot.

Hardwood lumber typically takes 4-6 weeks to kiln dry, while softwoods such as Pine or Spruce are often dried within 2-3 weeks.

If you do not intend to kiln dry your lumber, the rule of thumb for air drying is 1 year per inch of thickness. If you just need to bring the moisture below 25% prior to kiln drying, this can usually be accomplished within 6 months to a year, if stored properly.

The answer to this question will depend on what the lumber is being used for and how soon you plan to use it. If the lumber is being used indoors or if you do not have time to air dry, then yes you should kiln dry your lumber. The kiln process will have the added benefit of killing any bugs, it will also set the pitch (or harden the resin) in soft wood species.
