A Complete Hardwood Solution

At Walnut Creek Planing, we’ve taken a proactive approach to quality, efficiency, and reliability through vertical integration across our Walnut Creek, Sugarcreek, and Winesburg facilities. By controlling every step of the supply chain — from green lumber to the finished component — we eliminate the inconsistencies and delays often associated with third-party suppliers. With vertical integration, we’re able to offer fast lead times and consistently well-produced products.

An Answer to Supply Chain Issues

Our process begins with green lumber (wet lumber) harvested from the Eastern United States and sourced from trusted local sawmills. These sawmills provide high-quality hardwoods that are ideal for manufacturing durable, long-lasting components. By keeping every aspect of production under one roof, we’re able to guarantee a higher level of quality control, from the first cut to the final product.

Vertical Integration

Grading, air-drying, and precision kiln drying

Our drying facility reduce defects, enhance stability, and improve long-term performance.

On-site machining and customization

Dried hardwoods are transported to one of our two advanced manufacturing facilities where raw lumber is transformed into precisely machined components.

Efficient and sustainable practices

We’re able to reduce unnecessary handling and transportation, minimizing the risk of damage, and cutting down on lead times. We utilize every piece of the log, even converting waste materials into useful products.

Envirobrick

All of the sawdust that is created at each of our facilities is gathered and pressed into EnviroBricks. EnviroBricks are fireplace fuel and an effective substitute for alternatives such as fuel oil and coal. Unlike coal and other fossil fuels, Enviro-Bricks are CO2 neutral because the trees that are used extract more CO2 from the atmosphere than the logs emit when burnt.
