 The Process of Reclaiming Wood    

      

   

Red Mountain is able to yield an extremely high percentage of usable fiber from our salvaged timber. Sixty three years of sawmill experience has helped to make us an industry leader in not only the quality of our material, but efficiencies that mean less waste of this valuable resource at the mill, and more value to our customers. We select, grade and saw each timber in such a way as to optimize each piece into moldings, wainscot, flooring, millwork and furniture blanks. Nothing goes to waste. By offering a full line of Green Products our team is not only getting valuable yield from our limited resource, but we are also able to offer more recycled options to the market place.

The Manufacturing Process

There are multiple steps in the manufacturing process of salvaged lumber. These steps include;

• Deconstruction of Mill or Factory
• Sizing and sorting
• De-nailing (removing all of the iron in the fiber)
• Sawing the material on the mill.
• Optimizing the material for yield.
• Straight line ripping the lumber
• Parallel ripping the lumber
• Kiln drying the lumber
• Surfacing / Sizing the lumber
• Milling or molding the stock
