Who We Are

Working with wood has been an integral part of my life since I was 15 years old. In the last 35 years I’ve encountered everything from yacht building to heavy construction. During this time I have always had a reverence for wood. This reverence along with exposure to copias types and species formed a passionate affinity for certain favorites of my own. Realizing this passion and mechanically working with wood created a desire in me to educate myself on the processes of manufacturing, drying, machining, and understanding wood. With this new knowledge and interest, starting a lumber business seemed like a natural progression.

When I was a young boy my father bought and sold lumber from a concentration yard. We were always visiting small ground mills around rural Virginia. This background experience helped me to build relationships with loggers, landowners, foresters, timber companies, and saw mills in procuring specified logs and lumber. I feel like if it’s out there I can find it and buy it. It’s not easy, but I’m very confident in my ability to obtain obscure resources. I then take them to their highest and best use so that my customers can enjoy the warm, rich appearance, texture and in some cases even the plesant aroma of our products.

It is my hope that if you do choose to buy from us that you will get the same esthetic satisfaction from the product that I do. I know you’ll be happy with the quality.
