SHOOTING CREEK LUMBER CO.
2008 Copyright protected by Shooting Creek Lumber Co.
Our intentions are to bring "YOU" the wood-worker, carver, hobbyist and crafter an online source for purchasing Appalachian Hardwoods at an affordable cost. I use the term "Hardwoods" loosely as the custom sawn lumber you find in these pages.....well, it'll be Hardwoods all right but the items will be of a "one of a kind" nature. On this site you will find everything from Book Matched Slabs to Fire Place Mantles and Gun Stock blanks to Game call blanks. We are a source for purchasing domestic hardwoods harvested selectively from "reclaimed" trees of the Appalachian Mountain Range
Every bit of wood we sell has been custom sawn on the Hudson 30" Sawmill shown in the picture. An extremely capable and effective machine which is necessary for the type of saw milling we do. We are "Urban Loggers" and as such we get many trees that have been manicured in a yard for decades. They have been felled by storm or they have become a detriment to others. All sorts of hardwood varieties come our way. We are also known for acquiring what the bigger sawmills turn down and custom cut lumber out of this stock.Wicked,funky,bent,swept logs loaded with metal or not. That's where we find some of the most unique and highly figured Appalachian Hardwood. Don't get me wrong, we saw our fare share of straight saw logs, but I've found we need to dig a little further for the good stuff.
We also incorporate a small Dry Kiln facility used for reducing the moisture content of the hardwoods we saw and market. It's an economical and fundamental way to provide 6%-8% MC in virtually all the hardwoods we saw and sell. Not ALL of our Hardwood is Kiln Dried as some blanks/stocks do not require this type of drying. Moisture Contents will always be available for the lumber you are interested in purchasing.
As the kiln perks away moisture our lumber is only days away from being ready for sale. Thanks for stopping in and if you have any comments,suggestions or questions please take the time to notify us through the contact page.
We at Shooting Creek Lumber Co. can only hope that you'll experience the same type of joy and fulfillment completing your project as we did custom sawing the hardwood for it!

Portable Sawmilling Reclaimed Trees
Picture's of the week
Welcome, we really do enjoy custom sawing hardwood with our Hudson 30 Portable Sawmill! The fact that the lumber is for sale is secondary compared to the sheer amount of fun we have cutting it with the Sawmill. I can't tell you how fast a 10 hour day comes to an end when you really enjoy custom sawing boards, slabs, turning stock and such. We should all be so lucky!
