Sawmill Lumber Serving British Columbia
Among the sawmills in British Columbia, Seaton Forest Products stands out for what it mills and how. We are a cant sawmill on Highway 16, west of Smithers, turning dry balsam into solid timber since 2016.
A different kind of BC sawmill
We mill dry balsam: the logs left burnt or behind in the bush that larger mills will not take. Every log leaves the yard as squared cants for finished lumber or as chips bound for a local pellet plant, so nothing is wasted.
We are a family-scale crew of about twenty-five, three-quarters of whom are First Nations. Most of our cants ship south to a remanufacturing partner in Langley, while a portion serves local customers in northern BC.
