- White Cedar is naturally grown in the North in cooler climates.
- White Cedar Shingles and Lumber is located in the heart of the Northland and is surrounded by acres of White Cedar forests.
- Our mill is located on a pier in Lake Superior.
- We use auxiliary mills in Sturgeon Lake and Big Fork.
- Our trucks load the logs in the woods, and bring them to the mill. Our logs are hauled by JBT Company, a company owned by the owner of WCSL, Hobart Finn, for twenty years. “JBT” stands for “Julie’s Big Trucks” – the company is named for Hobart’s sweetheart.
- At White Cedar Shingles & Lumber, we know our logger’s personally, and we have built longstanding relationships of trust and respect for their forests and their land.
- Shingle sawing is a highly skilled task, requiring an apprenticeship of five years to attain proficiency
- White Cedar Shingles & Lumber uses the same saws that were traditionally used 80 years ago, only ours runs on electricity, not steam or gas.
