Terrace, British Columbia
Terrace Lumber from a Working Sawmill
Terrace is west of us along Highway 16, down the Skeena. We are a cant sawmill on the same highway, milling dry balsam into cants, rough-cut boards and chips, and selling direct.
West along the same road
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 on Highway 16 between Witset and Hazelton. Terrace is west along the same highway, down the Skeena. Everything moves on one road, which keeps a haul simple to arrange.
What we can supply
- Dry balsam cants in seven cross-sections from 4x4 to 12x12, in lengths from 8 to 20 feet, graded and banded by the lift. Solid squared timber where a heavy, full-bodied piece is the point.
- Two-inch rough-cut boards in random widths and lengths, for outbuildings, fencing and farm work.
- Wood chips by the trailer load.
Where we are the wrong supplier
Terrace is a regional centre with real construction going on, so this is worth saying plainly: we do not produce graded, planed dimensional lumber. If you are building to a plan an inspector will measure, buy graded stock from a building supplier. Our wood is rough-cut and ungraded, and no amount of wanting it to be otherwise changes that.
Where we do fit is heavy timber, rustic and farm work, and anyone who would rather have a full two inches of honest board than an inch and a half of dressed. If you are unsure which side of that line your job falls on, tell us what you are building and we will say so straight. Our cants vs dimensional lumber page lays out the difference.
Common questions
Good to know.
Do you deliver to Terrace?
We serve the Highway 16 corridor and can help arrange a haul west. Call with your sizes, quantity and location.
Can I get framing lumber for a permitted build?
Not from us. We do not produce graded or planed dimensional lumber. For anything an inspector will measure, buy graded stock. We will tell you when that is the case.
What do you actually cut?
Dry balsam, squared into cants from 4x4 to 12x12, plus two-inch rough-cut boards in random widths, plus chips. That is the whole line.
