Sawmill and Kiln Drying Services
Sawmill Services
Our sawmill is TreeCycle America certified. It cuts, stacks, and dries our lumber, slabs, discs, and mantels for use in future projects.
Do you have a log that you need milled for a weekend project of your own? For a modest fee, we can saw to your desired thickness.
For your drying needs, we have a container kiln and the only vacuum kilns in the area. Let us know how we can help!
Kiln Services
Got wood that needs proper drying? Our kilns are available for public use!
All kiln services are based on a number of factors including but not limited to species, thickness, time since the material has been cut, and quantity.
Each job will be quoted based on the above factors and more. Please contact us if you’re interested in kiln drying services!
Kiln Dried Slabs & lumber
All Carolina Urban Lumber wood products first go through one of our three on-site kilns. This ensures bug-free, stable, and consistent lumber, slabs, discs, mantels, and more.
Carolina Urban Lumber proudly uses kilns made in the USA from Vermont-based iDry. Using a combination of heat and vacuum, our kilns are some of the only of their kinds in the area and help us deliver a higher-quality product with less degradation and imperfections while drying.
Please be wary of other’s claims that their product is “properly dried.” Look out for these yellow flags when asking about the wood. These approaches DO NOT produce heirloom-quality results.
“This wood has been stored in my basement with a dehumidifier.”
“These slabs have been in a solar kiln for 16 months.”
Any wood products not properly dried can result in bugs and excessive movement (cupping, warping, splitting, etc.) afterwards.
