After the logs are brought to our yard in Frohna, Missouri, they are put through our sawmill where we focus on grade sawing. This means we concentrate on obtaining the highest yield and highest value possible, out of each log, as well as each piece of lumber.

Each board is inspected by a NHLA certified lumber inspector. After inspection, the lumber is put on sticks and stacked straight and flat in one of our air-drying sheds. The lumber dries naturally in air drying sheds for approximately three months depending on specie and thickness.

After air drying, the lumber is placed into one of our dry kilns. Here we carefully finish the drying process, by daily monitoring the progress of the lumber's moisture content in each kiln.

After kiln drying, each board is inspected once again by another NHLA certified lumber inspector. This is to ensure dependable quality and to follow through with consistent, first-class lumber.
