Your local mill on Highway 16
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.
Our yard sits at 7865 BC-16 W, between Witset and Hazelton, so it is an easy run for builders, ranchers, and contractors working in and around Smithers. If you need timber and would rather buy from a small local mill than a big-box supplier, we are glad to talk.
What Smithers customers buy from us
- Dry balsam cants in seven cross-sections from 4x4 to 12x12.
- Two-inch rough-cut boards in random widths and lengths for fencing, barns, and outbuildings.
- Wood chips by the trailer load.
- Custom orders when you have an odd size or a larger run in mind.
