Timber for Prince Rupert and the northwest
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.
Prince Rupert sits at the west end of Highway 16, a straight run from our yard near Smithers. If you are building or contracting around Rupert and would rather buy from a small local mill, we are glad to sort out an order and a haul.
