Custom Timber from Our Smithers Sawmill

Our timber yard on Highway 16

We mill dry balsam: the logs left burnt or behind in the bush that larger mills will not take. Every log leaves the yard as squared cants for finished lumber or as chips bound for a local pellet plant, so nothing is wasted.

Trucks in, trucks out, one steady rhythm. Whether you need standard cants or a custom run, our yard is set up to mill dry balsam and band it for transport.

What you can order

• Dry balsam cants in seven cross-sections from 4x4 to 12x12.
• Custom timber for larger or unusual orders.
• Two-inch rough-cut boards and wood chips.

Wood beams in the Bulkley Valley

When people ask us for wood beams, they usually mean a squared, solid timber for posts, headers, or barn and shop framing. That is what our cants are: dry balsam milled square in seven cross-sections from 4x4 up to 12x12, in lengths from 8 to 20 feet. For a heavier post and beam look, the 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12 cants carry the most presence.

We are a small mill, so we will tell you straight what dry balsam and our line can deliver. Send your beam sizes, lengths, and quantity and we will quote what we can mill. If you are building anywhere in the valley, see our Bulkley Valley supply page for delivery details.
