Wood It’s Real

Generations of southern yellow pine lumber manufacturers are dedicated to the sustainability of the working forests and the future of wood products. Wood crafting is an art and time-honored tradition, and we will do our part to share the story and the knowledge of the wood products community.

Sustainably Grown & Sustainably Harvested

Southern Yellow Pine lasts longer and leaves a smaller footprint compared to untreated materials, which need to be replaced more often. Plus, millions of new trees are planted each year and every part of every tree gets used during harvest, leaving zero waste. So you can feel good about choosing Southern Yellow Pine.
