Green lumber is the foundation on which lumber companies base
their business. At Hardwoods of Michigan, Inc. we work
hard to bring the best product to our customers. Everyday
our staff performs examinations to confirm that we are meeting
and exceeding the National Standards. Each log goes
through a vigorous inspection process and some never make it
through the gate. Timber that doesn't meet our
high-standards are rejected and immediately sent off to other
mills and made into pallets. Acceptable logs go through
the process and are cut according to our projected needs.
The quality of the lumber we ship is just as important to us as
it is to you.
| SPECIES |
Here at Hardwoods of Michigan
we work with Ash, Basswood, Cherry, Hard and Soft Maple,
Hickory, Poplar, Red and White Oak, and Walnut |

| GRADING |
To make sure you receive
properly graded lumber, each board is inspected numerous
times. Every tree is rated before it is cut and is
re-graded and sorted after it is down. Pallet logs and
firewood logs are never sent to our mill. When the
quality timber reaches our lot it is graded a third time.
Here the treasured veneer logs are sorted out while the
other high quality timber travels to the mill.
While being cut into lumber the wood is examined after every
trimming. Once each piece of lumber leaves the mill it
is marked according to grade and color by one of our highly
trained inspectors. Each marked piece of lumber is
then packaged accordingly. To ensure the quality of
the finished pack, all shipments are made within three days of
going through the mill. |

established a month in advance. We work closely with our

and even more specific, the lengths, widths, and color for
the specie. Primary species at our facility are: Ash,
Basswood, Cherry, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Red Oak, White
Oak, and Walnut. |
