Northern British Columbia
A Northern BC Sawmill and Timber Supplier on Highway 16
If you are looking for a sawmill in northern BC, we are the small one on Highway 16 between Witset and Hazelton. Since 2016 we have milled dry balsam into cants, rough-cut boards, and custom timber, and shipped it wherever the north needs wood.
Already on the highway your trucks use
Northern BC runs on Highway 16, and so do we. The yard sits right on it, which means no side-road detours for your driver and straightforward logistics whether the load is headed toward Terrace and the coast or east toward the Interior. Loads are banded for long-haul transport and we load promptly, because we know what truck time costs.
We are not a distributor moving other people's stock. Every stick we sell was a log in our yard first: dry balsam, salvaged after fire or left behind in the bush, milled on our own line.
Wood products for northern BC
- Dry balsam cants: seven cross-sections from 4x4 to 12x12, graded, banded, quoted by volume. The core of our wholesale trade.
- Two-inch rough-cut boards: random widths and lengths, by the lift, for fencing, barns, and outbuildings.
- Custom timber: squared beams and odd sizes on request, from 4x4 up to 12x12.
A timber supplier sized for the north
Big mills quote big minimums. We are a roughly twenty-five person operation, so a mixed load for a remote job, a partial lift for a ranch, or a repeat monthly order for a remanufacturer all get the same straight answer: what we have on the ground, what we can cut, and when it can ship. If you are pricing timber suppliers in northern BC, call the office and compare for yourself.
