Veneer Quality Log Exports

At B.J. Fortner Hardwoods we are proud to ship quality American grown lumber from the heart of Appalachia to anywhere in the world!

Quality

Over the years, we have developed markets in other countries, where our veneers are of particular interest by using only the best lumber available in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and surrounding states. We are selective when we harvest trees and choose only the very best veneer quality logs. With generations of experience in the logging industry we know how to select a superior class of logs for export.

Types

The woods we've built our name on include:

Red oak, which is the most widely used hardwood. It's heavy, can be bent, holds nails well and can be used with almost any finish. Our customers look to it to meet their furniture, flooring, cabinetry and trim needs.

White oak, which is lighter than red oak, resists rot extremely well. It makes excellent flooring and, like its cousin, is very hard. It is used in mill work, paneling, furniture and boats.

Walnut, which is preferred for fine furniture, is hard and strong, providing good shock resistance. Its grain is lovely and it finishes well. Many gun makers choose to make gun stocks from it.

Maple, which is another hardwood, is strong and shock resistant. It's often used for gym floors, bowling alleys and in industry.

We can also supply other hardwoods including: Black Walnut, Red Oak, White Oak, Ash, Poplar, Hickory, Aromatic Red Cedar, Basswood, Beech, Cherry, Buckeye, Hard and Soft Maple. We can also supply soft woods like White and Yellow Pine.

We regularly ship veneer quality logs to places like Japan, Philippines, Spain, Portugal and more. Our close vicinity to rail lines and east coast ports makes log exports to your locations around the world a cost effective way for you to get the quality timber that B.J.
