Special edition wood products from Loyalist Forest

Loyalist Forest is a family owned, fully integrated value added wood products company with over 4,000 acres of sustainable timberlands under our care and management. With parts of our forestland under continual stewardship since the mid 1800's, we have been growing our own future in the form of quality forest products; simultaneously preserving the natural habitat of countless wildlife species.

Flitch Cut Hardwood Lumber
Flitch Cut Hardwood Lumber

Once in a while, we encounter a log of such apparent quality and dimensions that we purposely pattern saw large flitches that feature live edges (with the bark on). This thick stock hardwood lumber is air dried for an extended period of time before kiln drying – leaving it time to acclimatize and reduce moisture content at a slow rate.

All hardwood lumber is inspected after sawing, again after kiln drying, and finally at the point the order is picked for shipment. Packaged with care and promptly shipped to locations across North America, we service the retail, commercial and industrial wood industry. From 2 to 200,000 board feet, we can provide you with a lumber supply solution.

Spalted Lumber

Spalting, or the coloration of wood by fungi, is a common naturally occurring phenomenon that occurs as fungi invades wood and initiates the decay process. This process creates unique coloration and patterns in the wood, a result that is highly desired by the wood industry. Many hardwood species native to the region produce the required results, including Hard Maple, Poplar, Beech and Birch.

Clear White Cedar Canoe Lumber

Few people understand how rare long, clear pieces of white cedar lumber are – less than 1% of the white cedar lumber we saw is acceptable to be graded as ‘clear’. Our quality standards for clarity and consistency in grain patterns are reflective of the same high standards of our customers. Often used for building hand crafted cedar strip canoes, Loyalist Forest’s special clear white cedar stock item is prized by craftsmen across North America.
