Middle Tennessee Lumber |Moulding

Moulding

While many lumber mills focus only on large orders to bring in revenue, we treat every order with the same importance no matter the size. Our moulding program is designed to fill all sizes of orders by keeping a large stock of moulder blanks.

Quick Turnaround

With our moulder blank inventory on hand, we can quote small runs as fast as we’d respond to large runs. Having a set cost lets us bypass the extra time involved trying to source the lumber and analyze widths on hand for an effective quote.

S4S Boards

With the help of our pioneering efforts, the standards for grading Red Oak and Poplar S4S boards were set. Our S4S boards are graded more strictly than any other board and are sold as WCMA Grade “A” boards.
