We specialize in appearance grade FOHC free of wane timber
Specs
Box Heart
Timber sawn from the whole tree with the heart at the center. Typically large dimension and value-oriented timbers are box-heart. Checking can occur that may run to the length of the timber.
Free-of-Heart
The timber is sawn to exclude the heart of the tree, creating a more stable timber, especially in small to mid-dimensions. Tends to check much less than box-heart.
Air Dried
Timbers can dry as much as 10% in about 30 days in an arid climate.
Kiln Dried
We use new generation dehumidification kilns to dry our timber. This process works extremely well on timbers up to 6” thick. This is the most economical way to start stabilizing timber.
Microwave Kiln Dried
Dried through radio frequency from the core, these timbers have more consistent moisture content throughout.
Texture
S4S
Timbers surfaced 4 sides smooth through a planer. We will surface the timber to ½” below full size, except for kiln-dried 8” and larger timbers that will be surfaced to ¾” under full size.
Rough
Mill rough textures typically have torn raised grain and the texture can vary slightly. Our stock is Full Sawn sized to the even number dimension.
Re-Sawn
Milling a timber through band saw creates a fine sawn appearance that is slightly smaller in dimension, but uniform, square and clean.
Wire Brushed
Wire brushing removes the soft grain creating raised grain, giving the timbers natural looking aged appearance.
Hewn
We offer a variety of hewing techniques to create a rustic appearance. There are three patterns, Standard, Radius, and Anderson Hewn. In addition to hewn textures, you can have custom adze hewn and hand-scraped timbers using authentic tools, choose from three textures.

Appearance Knotty
A practical material for the builder or homeowner who desires quality appearance and durability.
#2 Clear
The ultimate in durability and appearance. This grade should be specified when the finest quality rough lumber is desired. Fine-grain heartwood with minimal defects.
Douglas Fir
Douglas Fir timbers are the best value when a structural timber is required. From rustic charm to simple elegance, we have the ability to specify grade, dryness, and texture to meet your needs.
Select Structural
A specified grade for structural strength with straighter grain and smaller knots. This grade does have a better appearance than #2 and tends to shrink and check less. A large portion of our 3”, 4” and 6” timbers is Select structural.
#1/Better
A practical material for the builder or homeowner who desires quality appearance and durability. These timbers are our primary stock. All timbers are cut to full sawn size and are graded to be exposed.
#2/Better
Allows for larger knots and defects and has a lower structural rating than #1/Btr.
Clear
The ultimate in durability and appearance. Fine-grain heartwood.
Fine Grain
We can specify timbers as “Fine Grain” or “Old Growth”. These timbers come regions were the trees grow at a slower rate, creating a fine grain and even texture. We have found that this type of fiber is very stable, especially when combined with kiln drying.
