Hardwoods in our area….

  • Softwood production equipment

and practices do not facilitate hardwood development

  • Local species not recognized in

traditional hardwood markets

  • Transition from retail sales to

wholesale distribution requires increases in both efficiency and scale, and significant change in cost/price structure

Possible reasons that hardwood manufacturing has not developed further:

We made conscious choices.

We focused on:

  • Kiln drying
  • Secondary manufacturing.
  • Niche markets, and
  • Certified sustainably harvested products

Key factors in business longevity:

  • measured incremental growth
  • minimal leverage to help weather market

downturns

  • meeting challenges of selling retail over long

distances
