North Bend, OR
The factory receives green logs from private timber operators and processes them through a series of saws and planers that produce boards of various widths. The wood is then cut into blocks, rounded, rough‑lathed, and dried in controlled kilns for several weeks before being turned, sanded, and finished with oil or spray. Visitors can observe the entire workflow, from initial log handling to the final hand‑finished product, and learn about the specific characteristics of the wood such as its moisture content, hardness, and distinctive grain patterns.
