RECLAIMING PROCESS
After Mother Nature attacks, the forest floor & highways become a nesting ground old growth trees. We work with numerous agencies to reclaim these ancient trees and haul them to our log yard.
The milling process involves cutting the old growth logs into uniform sections in a stepwise fashion until a uniform rough cut board end product is acheived.
The rough cut boards are then processed thru a twin-blade edger. Inconsistencies in the wood are removed and boards are cut to uniform dimensions.
The last step in the process is kiln drying. Our wood is placed in a sealed building and the temperature is slowly raised to 170ยบ F. A consistent drying rate is carefully monitored and maintained throughout the kiln, while the moisture-laden air is removed by dehumidifiers.
