A log becomes more than lumber. 🌳

At our mills, producing lumber also generates wood fiber that can be put to productive use rather than going to waste.

These chips at Blackberry Mulch can be sold as-is or further processed into our red dyed mulch.

Here's a quick look at the shredding process in action. One more way we work to make the most of the wood resource.

From the woods to the mill. 🌲

Long before a finished wood product takes shape, there's a team working in the forest to get the process started.

Our logging operations are an important part of what we do, connecting responsibly harvested timber with the mills and manufacturing facilities where it will take on its next purpose.

A look behind the scenes at where the process begins.

Ever wonder why some freshly sawn lumber is stacked “on sticks”?

The small pieces of wood between each layer create space for air to circulate around the boards as the drying process begins.

There's something special about a home built from natural wood.

Before a log home becomes a place where memories are made, it starts with a carefully manufactured log home kit. At Burks Fork Log Homes , we take pride in producing precision-crafted log home packages that are shipped to customers across the country.

Every log is milled with care so builders can bring each home to life.

Interested in learning more about our log home kits? We'd love to hear from you.
