If there is anything that contractors know about construction jobs, it is that there are at least a million moving parts, or so it seems. From framing to plumbing to finish work, and everything in between, construction is a complicated process. One of the most satisfying stages of construction is finish work and millwork, which really shows the coming together of a construction project. 

Millwork, especially, is satisfying due to its tidying up of edges and joints, as well as finishing touches such as built-ins and architectural features. Millwork showcases finesse, whereas much of a construction project is unseen or less aesthetic.

Choosing the right wood for custom millwork is extremely valuable and should be one of the first decisions made when planning out the visible elements of a build. Join us as we explore the impact that quality Appalachian hardwood can have on a construction project when it is used in custom millwork.

Cabinet manufacturers around the world have been sourcing high-quality lumber for their projects for decades. Whether it be cherry, walnut, white oak, or exotic woods from around the world, more often than not, this wood has come out of a planer mill before it lands at the manufacturer's doorstep. 

Planer mills are an extremely important part of the milling process, especially for manufacturers who need ready-to-use wood products and require tight sizing tolerances and finished surfaces. Wood from the planer mill is a key material that improves efficiency, quality, and a finished appearance without needing to process it further. Cabinet manufacturers rely on properly surfaced hardwoods to reduce labor and waste while also streamlining production and ensuring a top-notch finished product.

In this article, we will explore how lumber from the planer mill can help cabinet manufacturers achieve showroom-ready cabinets with little additional treatment.

Just about every trade across the construction industry utilizes planed wood throughout their processes. From carpenters to HVAC techs and everything in between, you can find planed wood products throughout a home. This is especially true for tradesmen who need exacting measurements, specific surface adhesion, and top-quality wood.

Agriculture is the backbone industry of rural America. While only 2% of workers work directly for farms, the broader food and agriculture sector supports nearly 49 million jobs, which roughly represents 30% of US employment. 

As this industry continues to grow, there is a major need for raw building materials that stand up to the day-to-day wear and tear of the agriculture industry. That is why it is important to work with a lumber mill that provides top-quality hardwood and softwoods with the option to have wood planed to the exact size and finish.

At the Planer Mill, we pride ourselves on providing in excess of 20 million board feet of lumber each year, with a large portion of lumber going to the agriculture industry. In this article, we will discuss how our planer mill provides solutions for the agriculture industry and beyond.
