The Best Your Money Can Buy

Known the world over for its Appalachian timber, the  Tennessee region has the ideal balance of climate, elevation and soil quality to produce the highest quality hardwoods. As a result, our wood has a richer, more even color, softer texture, a more elegant appearance, and better widths and lengths, all providing better yields and working properties-so you get a better product. 

 

Appalachian Hardwood
Appalachian hardwoods are grown equal. We harvest all our Appalachian timber in the Highland Rim Region of  Tennessee, which has the ideal balance of climate, elevation, and soil quality. When you order Appalachian hardwoods , we guarantee you'll get three distinct benefits from us: Consistent Appalachian quality, no matter the species Greater lumber yield for you, the end-user Nature-friendly harvests from sustainable forests We offer a variety of species of Appalachian hardwoods, including these popular choices

Flooring Installers Love Our Slow-Molded Hardwood Floors Slow-molded flooring is an installer's dream, and our manufacturing facility produces up to 15,000 square feet of it every day. To ensure our planks lay better, we slow-mold them at just 110 to 120 lineal board feet per minute, compared to the industry standard of 450. As a result, our floors require less sanding, produce less waste, and take finish better. Slow milling also gives us more time to inspect, end match and side match our planks, making our floors fit better and lay faster. And since we only use high grade lumber, you get better lengths and a better overall grade.  

 

MILLWORK Having our own millwork plant on site gives us a distinct advantage over the competition. We offer a greater variety of inventory, including S4S Moldings, Finger jointed S4S, and blanks. And we can offer mixed loads, to save you time and money.

  Program Custom Moldings
Our lineal moldings are run in the following species on a program or per order basis: 

 

Molding Blanks
Save time, money and space—and eliminate waste—with our ready-to-rip molding blanks. Calculate your yield costs more easily and accurately Avoid making byproduct finished goods that end up selling below cost Save freight costs by only buying what you’ll use Eliminate expensive ripping, waste and waste-hauling fees Avoid buying expensive waste grinding and handling equipment

 

Our  Process:
Details make all the difference. From the dip tank to the shipping dock, each step in our process is designed to deliver you a superior product and a first-rate service experience.

.
 1.Dipping We treat our green lumber with a special non-toxic solution that protects our boards from fungal infestation 
during the drying process.

2. Steaming We steam our Cherry and Walnut, which blends the color of the heartwood into the sapwood. This gives the wood a uniform color.

3. Inspecting Before and after kiln drying, four full-time inspectors grade our lumber in accordance with the National Hardwood  Lumber Association's grading rules.

 

4. Stacking   Our boards and stacking sticks are always perfectly aligned. That means your lumber is guaranteed to begin the drying process flat and warp-free. We even use Ipe stacking sticks, with their patented corkscrew design, to maximize airflow between boards and to prevent blemishes on all your finished hardwood.

5. Waxing Applying white wax to the ends our boards slows moisture loss, ensuring that each and every board you order from us dries evenly and straight

6. Pre-Drying Our low-temperature pre-dryer readies our boards at 20% moisture level, the optimal drying rate for lumber in the early drying process.

7. Kiln Drying  After our boards dry to 20% moisture content, we then use a dry kiln to reduce moisture to NALA standards. We closely monitor the temperature and moisture in each of our 6 dry kilns, checking one sample every 8,000 board feet to make sure you always get worry-free wood.

8. Planning Our finish surfacing is done by highly trained personnel on a Newman S-282 high-speed steel knife planer, which gives your hardwood the best finish possible.

9. Packing We measure the width and length of every single piece of lumber and millwork to ensure you get totally accurate measurements for your hardwoods.
