Custom kiln drying

Bring us your slabs and lumber

Had a tree milled and now the boards are sitting in the barn? Air drying takes a long time, and slabs can crack, warp or pick up bugs while they wait. We'll kiln dry them so they're ready to build with.

$0.60 per board foot
  • 50 board foot minimum
  • Kiln runs on a monthly cycle, so plan on about one month
  • Drop off and pick up at our Butler shop, by appointment
  • Slabs and lumber, most hardwoods

What to send in your message

  • Species (walnut, oak, cherry…)
  • How many slabs or boards, and rough sizes
  • Thickness
  • About how many board feet in total
  • Freshly milled (green) or already air drying, and for how long
  • When you'd like to drop it off

Example: 20 boards of 8/4 walnut, about 8" × 96" each = about 213 bdft × $0.60 = about $128. We confirm the board feet at drop-off.
