Selection of Logs

Quality is always on our minds, which makes us fussy about our logs. We buy very little from local loggers because we prefer to harvest it ourselves.

Our location in the Appalachian Mountain region enables us to find enough high-quality logs without looking far beyond Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Species and Uses

We specialize in veneer quality hardwood logs like: black walnut, red oak, white oak, hard maple, yellow poplar, and true hickory. Thanks to our land management company we can also provide quality soft maple, aromatic red cedar, ash, American bass wood, American beech, black gum, and cherry logs. We also can supply some softwoods like soft pine and yellow pine.

Most of the lumber is sold to furniture makers in North and South Carolina and Indiana, but there's a steadily increasing foreign market for our veneer quality logs.

Land Management

Thanks to the abundant natural resources in our area, we stay busy year round. Thanks to our land managment company, Tennessee Timber and Land Management Company, we have access to thousands of acres of old-stand forests and older second growth forests. This also provides our friends and neighbors with a valuable source of income. To learn more about how you and your family might benefit, contact us for more information.

Enviromental Practices

Keeping the environment in mind means practicing erosion-control measures, making reforestation a priority and doing everything possible to prevent waste. At Fortner Hardwoods we use Best Management practices and stay on top of new trends and techniques in environmental methods.

Aside from selling logs for furniture and veneers, we shred the bark, chip the scrap lumber, toss on the floor sweepings and sell it all for use as mulch. Our sawdust is sold to furniture makers who use it as boiler fuel.
