Lumber

The A. Johnson Co., LLC produces lumber for both wholesale sales and retail sales. We have strongly supported the SFI program for sustainable timber harvesting for many years, believing that certification is important to the long-term viability of the forest products industry. See our forestry page for more information about and links to the various programs promoting sustainability. All timber harvested off company lands are under the supervision of a licensed company forester.

Logs start through the sawmill at a new Nicholson 35” ring debarker, which does an excellent job of removing the bark without damaging the valuable, high quality fiber on the outside of the log. From there the logs are conveyed to a 6-foot double-cut band headrig with a Silvatech photocell scanner for primary breakdown. Farther downstream in the mill is a 7-foot band resaw, a Cornell scrag edger with controls updated by Autolog in 2008 and a Sanborn style drop-saw trimmer. Once out of the mill, the lumber goes to our green lumber sorter and stacker system, manufactured by HEMCO and with new sorter controls by Autolog in 2003.

Once the lumber is stacked for drying, the lumber is loaded into one of our 9 dry kilns with in-kiln platform scales and computer based controls by SII. This control system provides excellent control of the drying process, producing evenly dried, bright colored and well conditioned lumber for our many customers around the world. After drying, the lumber is graded again at our dry lumber sorter with Silvatech controls. We work very hard to provide our customers with high quality lumber that is well manufactured, stress free, on grade and ready when promised.
