Our North Chicago production facility centers around a Wood-Mizer band saw mill, capable of cutting logs up to 36 inches in diameter and up to 20 foot lengths. We operate three dehumidification kilns capable of drying 4000 board feet per cycle. Typical dry times on green lumber range from 4-8 weeks, while thick slabs can take up to three months.

Have a specific log you want to use for a project? We can arrange for your logs to be picked up from your property and brought to our location in North Chicago to have them custom milled and kiln dried so you can give them a second life. We’ll mill to your specifications and kiln dry to furniture grade moisture content of 8%-10%. For extra thick stock or logs, we run them through longer kiln cycles. All lumber is completed with a sterilization cycle to eliminate any living bugs.

Source your lumber from our inventory of logs. Milled to your specifications and kiln dried, our lumber is sold by the board foot and available in large quantities. Additionally, whole logs can be milled, book-matched, and kept together for unique projects.
