Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

When you visit Greene Lumber Co LP, you’ll hear the distinctive sound of bandsaw blades cutting through fresh logs and see stacks of newly milled lumber air-drying in organized piles. The mill operates with the rhythm of serious production, where operators carefully position each log to maximize the quality boards that emerge from every cut.

Expect to discuss your project requirements in detail – the mill team will want to understand your intended use, timeline, and specifications before recommending the best sawing approach. You’ll likely see the milling process in action and can often request specific cuts or modifications while your lumber is being processed, something impossible at retail lumber yards.

Products & Materials

Greene Lumber Co LP mills a comprehensive range of lumber products from locally sourced hardwoods and softwoods. Our primary species include eastern white pine, red oak, hard maple, cherry, ash, hickory, and hemlock, all available in custom dimensions from 1-inch boards to massive 12×12 timbers. Live-edge slabs are cut from premium logs, maintaining the natural edge for furniture makers and craftsmen seeking unique character pieces.

Dimensional lumber can be sawn to any specification your project requires, whether that’s non-standard widths for restoration work, extra-long lengths for timber framing, or specific thicknesses for specialized applications. We handle both green lumber for customers who prefer to season their own wood and offer kiln drying services for projects requiring specific moisture content.

Beyond standard lumber, we produce heavy timber beams for post-and-beam construction, barn restoration, and architectural projects. Our circle saw and bandsaw capabilities allow us to handle logs up to 36 inches in diameter, producing everything from flooring stock to structural timbers with the precision that quality construction demands.

Serving the Davenport, New York Area

Davenport’s location in Delaware County places it at the center of New York’s active forestry region, where sustainable timber harvesting and traditional woodworking skills remain strong.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Bring your logs as soon as possible after felling for best results – fresh logs mill cleaner and are less prone to checking
• Call ahead to schedule milling time, especially during peak season when demand for custom cutting services is highest
• Consider your end use when discussing moisture content – green lumber works fine for many projects but kiln-dried may be necessary for indoor applications
• Ask about sticker and stacking services if you need your lumber properly dried – improper stacking can ruin even perfectly milled boards
• Bring measurements and project plans to discuss the most efficient sawing pattern for your specific needs
• Plan for air-drying time if you’re not having lumber kiln-dried – proper seasoning takes months but produces superior results
