Planing Mill Products: Smooth Finish, Superior Quality

Delivering surfaced lumber and custom patterns with unmatched precision and consistency.

The Art and Science of Surfaced Lumber

Our planing mills are equipped with high-speed, precision machinery dedicated to transforming rough-sawn lumber into perfectly surfaced material. This process is critical for applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances and a smooth, ready-to-use finish.

We produce **surfaced lumber** (S4S - surfaced four sides) that is graded for both structural and appearance applications. Our in-house quality control ensures that every piece meets or exceeds industry standards for moisture content, grade, and finish quality.

Standard Workings and Custom Patterns

Northern Industrial, LLC is also a leading supplier of **standard workings and patterns of lumber**. This includes common profiles like tongue-and-groove, shiplap, and various siding patterns. Furthermore, our flexible mill can accommodate custom knife grinding to produce unique patterns for specialized architectural or industrial projects, providing a truly bespoke service to our clients.
