Timber Log Grades

We purchase and harvest the timber needed to produce high quality lumber. Harvested trees are the larger, older growth. It is necessary to grade them based on the clarity and length of the log.

Log Grades: How we grade standing timber for harvest

Sawlogs

Sawlogs are primarily the second and third log of the tree. They are the logs that are used to produce lumber.

Veneer

Logs that have minimal defects. These are primarily the first log of the trees. These logs are used to produce veneer for the face of plywood panels, cabinet facings, wood doors, furniture, etc.

Blocking

Used to produce dimensional low grade lumber used for pallets, (2×4’s, 3×4’s, 4×4’s, 3 1/2″, Timbers, etc.)
