Our iron rich soils and plentiful rain results in lumber of exceptional color, with frequent black and orange contrasts to the usual chocolate walnut tones. With the lack of frequent ice storms, high winds, and virtually no lightening, environmental tree damage is minimal. To utilize the unique qualities of Oregon black walnut, we have been specializing in custom milling for the past 25 plus years and have specialized in thick wide lumber. Our inventory is extensive, but if we do not have what you need in stock, we maintain a log deck for custom cutting to meet your needs. No steaming is done to darken sap wood.
Most lumber is six inches wide or wider.
