Serving the Dundee, New York Area

Dundee’s location in the heart of the Finger Lakes region provides access to some of New York State’s finest hardwood forests, making it a natural hub for quality lumber production. The area’s woodworking community includes both traditional craftsmen and contemporary makers who value the superior characteristics of locally sourced lumber, from the dense grain of Finger Lakes maple to the rich patina of regional cherry and walnut species that thrive in this climate.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead if bringing logs for custom milling to discuss scheduling and ensure the mill can accommodate your log sizes and species
• Bring project specifications and dimensions to help mill staff recommend the best wood species and grade for your intended use
• Ask about moisture content and drying options – green lumber costs less but requires time to dry before use
• Inquire about planing and surfacing services if you need lumber ready for immediate assembly
• Consider seasonal timing for log delivery, as winter-cut logs often have lower moisture content and better stability
• Request to see examples of different sawing patterns (plain sawn, quarter sawn, rift sawn) to choose what best suits your project’s appearance requirements
