OUR PENNSYLVANIA SAWMILL
Horizon Wood Products combines current technology with traditional saw milling methods to create the great hardwood products that are our claim to fame. Our lumber and wood manufacturing process has been fine-tuned over the years to efficiently and logically produce an ongoing supply of quality lumber.
04. Drying Process
Air-drying rows of perfectly stickered, wide, thick, flat, sequenced flitches and lumber organized like a wine cellar. This is what we do, and we know it takes time. We truly appreciate the sight, the smell, the ability to touch the material as it seasons prior to final drying. Horizon operates 8 large, modern, hot water–based kilns (not the harsher, faster steam kilns used by most), along with a vacuum kiln for custom items. We also generate all our own energy to heat these kilns by burning our waste. No, it is not cheaper than burning gas, but we believe it is our responsibility as good environmental stewards.
