Sawn Lumber Introduction

Redwood

Redwood is native to our Northern California coast and is an aesthetically beautiful forest product. Redwood heartwood is naturally resistant to decay and insects. No other softwood has the rich beauty or long-lasting performance of redwood. It's a great option for decks, fencing and trim. California has gone to great lengths to ensure that this renewable resource will be around for a long time to come.

We also distribute lumber that can be pressure treated for resistance to mold and decay. The common preservative treatment used is CA-C (Copper Azole - Type C). Please contact us to discuss preservative treatments and wood options.

Cedar

We stock and distribute the following species of wood:

 · Incense Cedar
 · Western Red Cedar

Much of the lumber we stock is the mid-to-low grade lumber used for fence boards, posts, and rails; or popularly remanufactured into tree boxes, crating, pallets, and store displays.

We sell our products for resale only. As a wholesale distributor of lumber, we supply the lumber retailers, agricultural suppliers, and product re-manufacturers. We do not sell directly to contractors or the general public.
