Custom Milling

We surface (S2S – Surfaced 2 Sides) rough lumber to standard surface thicknesses or customer-specific thicknesses. S2S lumber has been kiln dried and surfaced on both the top and bottom to a standard surface thickness. We also offer hit or miss dressing and straight line ripping to any specific width.

Custom Sawing

We specialize in a variety of sawing techniques including quarter sawing, rift sawing and live sawing. Contact our experienced staff to learn more about custom sawing for your next order.

Timber Harvesting

Our procurement team not only purchases logs, but also standing timber and timberlands. One of our professionally-trained foresters works directly with each land owner to assess timberland values and create a harvesting strategy. Our harvest strategies are tailor-made for each landowner and his or her management goals. All Thompson Appalachian Hardwoods’ logging contractors carry worker’s compensation insurance.
