THE HORIZON DIFFERENCE
Here at Horizon Wood Products, we specialize in premium Pennsylvania flitch-cut slabs, boules, lumber and more. We focus on producing the highest quality wood products for our customer’s needs that will go on to live life as beautiful furniture, flooring, and architectural installations.
It all begins with the log. We understand its language and we listen to what it tells us. Each selection is analyzed before it is opened to determine where the secrets are hiding. We decide what type of wood product the log is best suited for: hardwood flitches and boules, lumber, or something completely unique…. Sometimes the needs of the customer direct those decisions. Usually we let the wood speak for itself. The important thing is that we understand its language, and we listen to what it tells us.
At Horizon, our products and services fall into four categories; Boules & Flitches, Lumber, Specialty Items, and Custom Production. Each category is tailored to a different customer need and leverages the unique qualities of the premium hardwood logs we source and cut in our sawmill. Select a category below to find the right option for your needs.
Product Categories
Boules & Flitches
What is a boule? Consider the log as a loaf of bread. Instead of making traditional slices across the loaf, it is cut longitudinally “through-and-through” the entire length of the log. Each of these individual log-length pieces is called a flitch. A flitch of significant thickness and width may be considered a slab.
Species Guide
Horizon is nestled in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest, the premier source of American Black Cherry. However, we source our material from a wide network of reputable log buyers we have been developing since the 70′s. We produce a wide variety of American hardwoods, including cherry, walnut, hard and soft maple, red and white oak, ash, elm, sap gum, butternut, sassafras, cottonwood, and more.
Learn more below about the American hardwood species Horizon uses to create our premium wood products in Pennsylvania. All of the varieties listed pass through our saw regularly, but of course some are easier to procure than others. Want to know more? Contact Us. We understand the unique personality of our woods and are happy to share our knowledge.
