Wood Species and Products Most Produced

Nature's Own Oregon Broadleaf Maple

Live edge fireplace mantels (one and three piece) See Fireplace Mantels
Live edge meaning - the leading edge of the mantel piece and/or the uprights will be the actual outer edge of the tree as it was growing, unique only to that tree.   As one can see in the photos, the live edges are all different. To duplicate any one of these would be virtually impossible. In addition to the live edge, there is always some color tone differences and you will find many different kinds of figuring, fiddle back, spalt, quilt and curly, although not always together. Fireplace mantels are sanded and varnished, with a minimum of two coats of marine spar varnish, or can be finished to your specifications. The mounting and assembly is your responsibility.

Again, any product can be custom ordered and built to the customer's specifications, in thickness, length, width and type of finish. Finishes might include natural or stained, varnish or polyurethane, or even an epoxy, made to withstand heat and liquid, depending on the application.

Other potential uses for maple, are as Bar, Table & Counter Tops, desktops, bookcases, and shelving. Our Picture Frames and Entranceway Mirrors are also made from Broadleaf Maple. The photo to the right shows both a mantle and a picture frame made from Oregon Broadleaf Maple. The possible uses are only limited by the imagination.

See Inventory lower on this page to see photos of the Silvercrest mill yard and some of the logs and trees that we use.

Nature's Own Oregon Antique Fir

This is a Douglas Fir specie, and is typically old growth, with some characteristics that occur naturally in the forest. Most is reclaimed, or salvaged from the forest floor. High winds, stump rot and/or forest fires all contribute to the toll, and after recovering the fallen tree, we process it for the highest and best use. Antique Fir is used for flooring, stair tread and trim applications, we offer this prestained in widths of 3" to 4". Nature's design in this species of wood is unique. We have only enhanced what Mother Nature has given us. For those who would like to venture out and add some color, we will work with your color scheme. Finish thickness will vary according to application. See Flooring and for more info and more photos.

The photo to the right shows Antique Fir used in a stair case.

Black Walnut

Sawn mostly for bar tops (sometimes with live edge), table tops, shelving, inlay projects and carving. Black walnut, like Oregon white oak, goes through a stabilizing process before going into our dehumidifying kiln. This process ensures the stability and reliability of the wood to stay in the shape an artisan may cut it. The walnut is usually sawn for the interesting patterns and figuring that it may naturally have. In all cases of sawing out mantels, bar tops, and tabletops, the piece will be finished to the customer's specs, here at our facility. For bar tops, we recommend using a high grade of polymer epoxy, which is heat and water stain resistant.

Oregon White Oak

Mostly all quarter sawn, for stability and the garyana ray speck figure that shows on the wood when the grain is vertical. White oak was used by craftsman, many years ago, and is found mostly in antique furniture and some pianos. This figuring is becoming popular again. Keeping in mind that white oak is very heavy, and that the live edge of the oak is not very interesting, a straight plank-type mantle is usually the best way to go. Again, as with black walnut, the lumber is put through a stabilization process before going into the kiln. This ensures reliability when it is finished.



Western Red Cedar

Western Red Cedar

This wood is always available. Wainscot, and closet paneling are the two most popular products in this specie. See Wainscoting & Paneling for more info and more photos.
