What we cut

From the log to your job.

Everything is sawn fresh to order, so you get the sizes and lengths you need instead of what's on a rack.

Our mainstay

Cypress

Boards, framing and heavy timbers, plus pecky and sinker cypress. Naturally rot- and insect-resistant, the go-to for porches, pavilions, barns, docks and siding.

Framing & fencing

Yellow pine

Southern yellow pine cut to dimension for framing, fencing and general building.

Red, white & live oak

Oak

Oak boards, timbers and live oak slabs for trailer decking, beams, tables and mantels.

Ask what's on the yard

Cedar, cherry & more

Aromatic red cedar, cherry and other species as logs come in. Hardwood posts and runners by the bundle or the truckload.

Milling & finishing

Rough-cut or ready to hang.

Take it straight off the saw, or have us run it through the planer and profile it so it goes up as soon as it hits the job.

Planed boards

Surfaced smooth for trim, tabletops, furniture and interior walls. We can plane boards up to 25 inches wide.

Straight-edge

Both edges ripped straight and square so boards butt tight, ready for board-and-batten or decking.

Tongue & groove

Interlocking edges for ceilings, walls and flooring. Goes together fast and hides the fasteners.

Shiplap

Rabbeted edges that overlap for a clean shadow line. Cypress shiplap holds up inside or out.

25″maximum planing width, for wide boards and tabletops most shops can't run.
