Milling urban trees into lumber.

When most urban trees are removed, the wood ends up as firewood or chipped for mulch. We work with a variety of tree service companies and property owners to recover quality urban saw logs. Our mill is located 40 minutes south of Portland Oregon in the Charbonneau area.

We produce quality wood products with a strong focus on smart material handling, proper drying and excellent customer service.
