Demand the Appalachian Standard

The World's Finest Hardwood Lumber
 
 
Welcome...

For all your hardwood lumber needs, demand the highest quality resource from your lumber supplier. Demand the Appalachian Standard.

There are four characteristics that make Appalachian Hardwoods stand above hardwood lumber resources. Since the 1920s when hardwood from this region began to make a name for itself, Appalachian Hardwoods have: come from a sustainable forest; consistent grain patterns, color and durability; increased yield for manufacturers; and been made in the United States of America. This tradition continues eight decades later as Appalachian Oaks, Cherry, Maple and Poplar set the standard for thousands of products and materials across the world.

The natural conditions that create the Appalachian Mountains' magnificent scenery also produce the world's most beautiful hardwoods. Appalachian Hardwoods grown in the region stretching from northern Georgia to western New York are unique in all the world. Here, at elevations of 1,000 feet and up, all the elements  create the ideal environment for superior quality hardwood trees.

Slow maturity means tight growth rings, strong fibers and consistent grain patterns which give Appalachian lumber it coveted beauty, strength and durability. With so many elements working together, it's not surprising that Appalachian lumber sets the standard in thousands of products and materials around the globe.
