Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting Oregon Overseas Timber Retail means stepping into a working lumber operation where the smell of fresh-cut wood fills the air and stacks of carefully organized hardwood boards line the facility. Knowledgeable staff can guide you through species selection, discuss grain patterns and figure, and help calculate board footage for your specific project needs.

Expect to spend time examining individual boards, as each piece of hardwood has unique characteristics. The staff understands that choosing the right boards involves considering grain direction, color matching, and defect placement, making this a consultative experience rather than a quick transaction.

Products & Materials

Oregon Overseas Timber Retail maintains inventory across multiple hardwood species, from domestic standards like red oak, hard maple, cherry, and walnut to exotic imports including mahogany, teak, and various tropical hardwoods. Boards are available in multiple formats: rough-sawn for maximum flexibility, S2S (surfaced two sides) for consistent thickness, or S4S (surfaced four sides) for immediate use.

Grading follows industry standards with FAS (Firsts and Seconds) representing the highest quality with minimal defects, Select grade offering good yield for smaller projects, and #1 Common providing economical options for paint-grade work or projects where defects can be worked around. Moisture content is carefully managed to ensure stability in finished projects.

Custom milling services extend the product offering beyond standard dimensions, allowing for specific thickness requirements, edge gluing for wider panels, and specialty profiles. The sawmill operation can also process customer-supplied logs or source specific species on request for larger projects.

Who Shops Here

The customer base spans from weekend hobbyists building their first jewelry box to professional furniture makers crafting custom pieces, cabinet shops needing consistent species for kitchen installations, and contractors working on high-end residential projects. Boat builders along the Oregon coast also frequent the facility for marine-grade hardwoods, while artists and sculptors seek unique figured pieces for specialized projects.
