Product Line, Limited Edition And One Of A Kind Finished Products
Materials
Our raw material product line will include full and partial logs, timbers, planks, lumber, custom milled stock as well as a variety of odds and ends for artists and craftspeople. With our objective being to operate in an environmentally responsible manner and to minimize our overall environmental footprint, we harvest a limited number of logs for only three months per year. From this material we generate a wide selection of different milled and un-milled products, looking to minimize waste and offal material in the process.
Our goal is to balance our harvesting with our own need and customer demand to avoid building an over inventory situation based on a “Best Guess” harvesting and milling approach, since sinker logs should be milled and properly dried soon after removal from water to avoid degrade in the wood. By filling most orders for raw and milled stock on a custom order basis, unnecessary resources and negative environmental impact in the areas of harvesting, transportation, drying, milling, dry storage and inventorying can be minimized.
Most of the timber that was driven down the Penobscot River between the late 1700's and the 1970's was softwood with a small percentage of hardwood included. The primary specie was pine and to date we have also located spruce, fir and hackmatack on the softwood side and only oak from the hardwood group. We will post the availability of different species as we harvest the logs. Hardwood logs and stock will be available on a limited basis.
Inquiries from customers to what they want will help us to more efficiently select the right logs during our surveying dives.
Due to the unique nature of this material relative to its age, long term underwater storage, color variations and so on, standard grading rules would be very difficult to utilize in the sorting and marketing of this wood. Therefore only two grades of milled stock will be offered, select and rustic. Select will include solid material with smaller solid knots in whatever widths are available and rustic will cover all other material.
Call for pricing on all materials.
