Unloading hardwood logs at Horizon Wood Products

Discover how our dedication to craftsmanship shapes our production processes, from the time a log arrives to our yard, until it leaves as a premium hardwood product.

OUR PROCESS

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.

01. Log Buying

Years of experience has taught Horizon’s buyers where the good supplies are. Their skilled eyes are also very adept at reading the raw material and making a good educated guess at what’s inside. Some of the best logs available travel through Horizon’s log yard. While we make every effort to use the material we buy for our own production, occasionally we offer logs for sale. Our customers consider themselves lucky.

Since its very beginnings, Horizon has recognized the critical role procurement has in being able to provide a high quality, highly desirable product. Forty plus years of experience has taught where to turn to find the best producers and suppliers. Horizon’s familiarity with the geography and topography of their often traveled buying area provides a clear understanding of the subtleties in quality and species dictated by how mother nature has impacted different parts of the country. The fact that the Horizon leaders were born, raised, live in and are raising their own families in the heart of the American Black Cherry belt of NW Pennsylvania only helps to strengthen their bonds with the forest and the special commodity that it produces.
