Green Lumber

At Hardwoods of Michigan, Inc. we work hard to bring the best green products to our customers.  Everyday our staff performs examinations to confirm that we are meeting and exceeding the National Hardwood Lumber Association Standards.  The quality of the lumber we ship is just as important to us as it is to you.

SPECIES      

Here at Hardwoods of Michigan we work with Ash, Basswood, Cherry, Hard and Soft Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Red and White Oak, and Walnut.

GRADING          

HMI uses NHLA and in-house trained inspectors.  The inspectors are monitored, tested, and re-inspected regularly with feedback.

SHIPPING          

To ensure the quality of the finished grade, we ship as soon as possible upon packaging, often dispatching trucks prior to finishing the load.

PRODUCT           

We not only take pride in the quality of our lumber, but also in the diversity of our production.  Our mill is capable of cutting grade ranging from 4/4 (1 inch) to 20/4 (5 inches) and specializes in cuts between 8/4 (2 inches) and 12/4 (3 inches).  We color sort to your specifications and do proprietary grading upon request.

Sales from the mill include Grade Lumber (green), Timbers, Special Order, Pallet Stock, and Steel Mill Blocking.

CUTTING SCHEDULE           

When possible, our cutting schedule is established a month in advance.  We work closely with our customers to ensure that we meet their kiln and production schedules.  Cutting schedules pre-plan the grades and even more specific, the thickness, lengths, widths, and color for the specie, and volume of each item.
