Own the land

Innovations in “sustained yield” forest management and timber harvesting will nearly triple the amount of wood growing on our land in the next 100 years, with average tree diameters doubling in that time.

Process the wood

Harvested wood goes to one of our 14 sawmills in California and Washington to be carefully prepared for use.

Convert the lumber

Our finest grade timber goes to our state-of-the-art millwork facilities where it’s turned into components for our windows and doors.

Assemble the components
Milled pieces are assembled into world-class windows and doors in one of our three manufacturing facilities.

Ship the products
Transportation is carefully controlled to be sure all materials arrive on time and in pristine condition.

Use everything
The fiber remaining from one operation becomes the raw material for another. Shavings become animal bedding; bark becomes landscape material or boiler fuel for dry kilns and electricity generation.

Create energy
Using bark and other remaining fiber as boiler fuel, our seven cogeneration facilities produce more than enough power to operate our mills. The balance is sold to CA utility companies to help local communities and reduce our nation’s dependence on fossil fuels.
