Exhibit 10.7

BOISE CASCADE CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN

(As Amended Through September 26, 2003)

ARTICLE I

        1.     Purpose of the Plan. It is the policy of Boise Cascade
Corporation to provide retirement benefits to eligible employees in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Company's retirement plans. Under certain
circumstances the effect of federal and state tax laws may preclude payment of
full benefits to which an employee is otherwise entitled out of the assets of
the Company's retirement plans qualified under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). In addition, the election of certain
employees to voluntarily defer receipt of otherwise taxable and pensionable
compensation may have the effect of reducing the amount of retirement benefits
which such employees would otherwise be entitled to receive out of the Company's
tax-qualified retirement plans. In order to ensure that employees of the Company
receive the full retirement benefits earned during the course of their
employment with the Company, the Company will provide benefits as described in
this Plan.

        2.6   "Maximum Benefit" means the monthly equivalent of the maximum
benefit permitted by the Code to be paid to a participant in the Company's
Pension Plan, taking into account all limitations required by the Code in order
for the Pension Plan to retain its qualified status under Section 401 of the
Code.

Participant in the Pension Plan on or after the Effective Date and whose pension

calculations shall be final and binding on all persons and parties concerned.

termination shall adversely affect a benefit to which a Participant or his or

such amendment or termination unless such Participant or beneficiary becomes
entitled to an amount equal to such benefit under another plan or policy adopted
by the Company.

        4.3   Payments. The Company will pay all benefits arising under this
Plan and all costs, charges, and expenses relating hereto.

        4.4   Nonassignability of Benefits. The benefits payable hereunder or
the right to receive future benefits under the Plan may not be anticipated,
alienated, pledged, encumbered, or subjected to any charge or legal process, and
if any attempt is made to do so, or a person eligible for any benefit becomes
bankrupt, the interest under the Plan of the person affected may be terminated
by the administrator which, in its sole discretion, may cause the same to be
held or applied for the benefit of one or more of the dependents of such person
or make any other disposition of such benefits that it deems appropriate, in its
sole discretion.

        4.5   Status of Plan. The benefits under this Plan shall not be funded
but shall constitute liabilities by the Company payable when due.

        4.6   Employment Not Guaranteed. This Plan is not intended to and does
not create a contract of employment in any manner. Employment with the Company
is at will, which means that either the employee or the Company may end the
employment relationship at any time and for any reason. Nothing in this Plan
changes or should be construed as changing that at-will relationship.

        4.7   Applicable Law. All questions pertaining to the construction,
validity, and effect of this Plan shall be determined in accordance with the
laws of the United States and, to the extent not preempted by such laws, by the
laws of the state of Idaho.

Trust")), or at any time thereafter, the Company, in its sole discretion, may
transfer to the DCB Trust cash, marketable securities, or other property
acceptable to the trustee to pay the Company's obligations under this Plan in
whole or in part (the "Funding Amount"). Any cash, marketable securities, and
other property so transferred shall be held, managed, and disbursed by the
trustee subject to and in accordance with the terms of the DCB Trust. In
addition, from time to time, the Company may make additional transfers of cash,
marketable securities, or other property acceptable to the trustee as desired by
the Company in its sole discretion to maintain or increase the Funding Amount
with respect to this Plan. The assets of the DCB Trust, if any, shall be used to
pay benefits under this Plan, except to the extent the Company pays such
benefits. The Company and any successor shall continue to be liable for the
ultimate payment of those benefits.

        4.9   Appeals Procedure. Claims for benefits under this Plan shall be
subject to determination and review by the Company. If any Participant disagrees
with the Company's determination of benefits hereunder, the Participant shall
have the right to appeal the Company's determination in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Company applicable to appeals under the Pension Plan.
