Yellow Cedar products are produced from British Columbia Coastal Forest Logs that are carefully processed at medium-sized custom-cut sawmills that focus on extracting the highest quality lumber in the most efficient manner. We produce many items from Yellow Cedar, some of which include: full 2" and 5/4" clears and patio grades, Japanese Temple products, Lamstock, Dodai, Appearance-Grade Timbers.
We custom cut logs at the best sawmills in the Lower Mainland. Custom cutting is the process where we own the logs and subcontract the cutting to the most appropriate sawmill, depending on the type of log and cut specification. The ability to custom cut our logs provides the greatest flexibility and lowest costs, for us, and our customers.
· We welcome custom sizes in all grades.
