Send us the takeoff and we'll cut the package.
One mill down the road can cut the whole package to your plans, so there's no reason to haul timbers in from three states away. Posts, beams, rafters, T&G and siding come in local Doug fir, spruce and pine, with hardwood on hand for the mantels and bar tops. Odd sizes are a big part of what we do.
- Beams up to 32' long, cuts up to 35" wide
- Quote back in about 1 business day
- Kiln-dried local hardwood for the finish work: walnut, ash, elm, sycamore
- A straight answer on lead time. It moves with the backlog, so we'll give you today's number.
Your project, built with wood from down the road.
Pergolas, mantels, slab tables, accent walls, even a whole porch. Bring a plan, a sketch or just the idea, and we'll cut what it takes to build it.
- Pergola packages, cut to size and ready to put up
- Kiln-dried slabs: walnut, ash, elm and whatever else came down in town
- Mantels in about any size
- Come pick your piece at the yard

A few words from the people who build with our wood.
“Great product, better people.”
“…the kind of customer service you just don’t see very often.”
“…beautifully milled lumber at the exact specs requested.”
“I really appreciated his attention to detail. I'll be back.”
“Had excellent service, Logan was stellar.”
“This place is awesome. Very helpful guys. Very nice service.”
I built my house out of this stuff.
I've worked in construction since I was a kid. In 2002 my family built a house in Gunnison County out of rough-sawn lumber. I've been building in Gunnison, Hinsdale and Montrose counties ever since. Then I bought a small sawmill and fell in love with making lumber.
In 2019 we did it again and built our own house out of local wood. That's logs to living. It started in the backyard, and after about a year and a half of sawdust in the yard, we moved out to the highway in Olathe. Faith, family and a lot of sawdust.

Is 2" actually 2"?
Yes. Everything we cut is true dimension, so 2 inches measures a full 2 inches.
How long does an order take?
Normal is about two weeks for green lumber, and kiln dried adds kiln time. It moves with the backlog, so ask and we'll give you today's number.
Will you mill my logs?
Yes. Drop them off or line up a hauler. Logs need to be at least 8 feet long.
Do you deliver?
We don't deliver, but we'll put you in touch with a hauler.
