Not all lumber is created equal—and knowing the difference matters. Take redwood, for example. Heartwood naturally resists decay and insects, while sapwood is considerably less resistant. Understanding this difference can help you choose lumber that looks better and lasts longer.

High Quality Wood

It’s the least expensive in the long run. Too often contractors and owners try to cut corners by using, cheap inferior materials only to see the same issues resurfacing a short time later. Build it nice or build it twice! Stay away from redwood Sapwood, finger jointed siding, pressure treated lumber and thin, flimsy fence boards.

To aid in your green or LEED building needs, The Lumber Baron has a vast selection of FSC certified reclaimed lumber.

We are happy to mill our lumber for you. Whether it be a rare or common siding pattern, a large slab, or desired re-saw marks, we can handle it, often in a fraction of the time other yards take to perform the same service.

Our new 3.5 acre Richmond site is finished, complete with inside storage, an expanded milling operation and a show room. The Lumber Baron would like to thank you for your continued support over the last 48 years. We realize this expansion would not be possible without you and hope the new lumber products and milling services will make your shopping experience with us even more enjoyable.
