Hardwood, cut to your project.
Kiln-dried or thermally modified ash, maple, birch, oak and more, from a family-run custom shop in Bathurst, New Brunswick.
Your specs, not ours.
We keep a range of hardwoods in stock kiln-dried, and some already thermally modified. Anything we have kiln-dried, we can thermally modify for you.
Use it for furniture, saunas, doors, trim, cladding accents, tables, planters, interior panelling, almost anything you can build. The only exception is load-bearing work. Our lumber isn’t strength-graded, so it always goes on a rated structural frame.
Give us a call, tell us what you’re building, and we’ll do our best to make it work.
Kiln-dried or cooked.
Kiln-dried
Conventionally dried hardwood with its natural colour, ready for interior furniture, cabinetry and millwork.
- Natural species colour
- Rough or planed
- Finish with any standard wood finish
Thermally modified
Cooked in our kilns with heat and steam, no chemicals. The wood comes out darker all the way through, more stable, and far more resistant to rot and moisture.
- Rich, even colour through the board
- Less swelling, shrinking and cupping
- Built for saunas, outdoor projects and humid rooms
Mostly ash. Plenty more.
Ash is our workhorse and the bulk of what we process. We also carry the species below, and sometimes others. Stock moves quickly, so reach out to find out what’s in the yard right now.
Kiln-dried stock on the racks in Bathurst.
We don’t always have every species in stock already thermally modified. If you want yours cooked, it goes in with the next scheduled kiln load, so wait times depend on when that cook is. Reach out and we’ll tell you where the schedule stands.
The standard run.
Most of our lumber comes in the sizes below. We occasionally have other thicknesses, like 6/4 or 12/4, so if your project calls for something specific, ask.
| Thickness | 4/4, 5/4 and 8/46/4 and 12/4 occasionally available |
|---|---|
| Length | Random lengths, mostly 8 to 10 ft |
| Width | Random widths |
| Surfacing | Rough or planed |
| Treatment | Kiln-dried or thermally modified |
We’ll cook your lumber too.
Already have the wood? We can thermally modify it for you in our kilns, as long as it’s been kiln-dried to the right moisture content first.
Hardwoods
Kiln-dried hardwoods at 10% moisture content or lower are ready to cook. Hardwood is our specialty.
Softwoods
We can cook softwoods at 20% moisture content or lower. Since we’re primarily hardwood specialists, please reach out first to talk through your softwood project.
