Mills, Factories, & Warehouses

Given the high volume of calls we receive, we have created a few guidelines for sellers.  Hopefully, the information below will help you to better understand the requirements and process prior to contacting us. 

1. Mountain Lumber typically focuses on buying Heart Pine as well as white and red Oak and Chestnut. Other hardwoods, including Beech, Birch and Maple are also considered. 

2. Mountain Lumber gathers antique wood for our flooring from a wide variety of mills and other buildings throughout the United States and around the world. We do not buy wood that is heavily damaged, oil soaked, from tanneries or otherwise contaminated with chemical residue. It is important to our workers, our manufacturing process, and eventually the end consumer that our wood be as pristine as possible and free of harmful chemicals.

3.  We ask that the following be included in your submission:

• Photos- If the structure is still standing, we require photos of the inside and outside of the building, as well as close-ups of the wood. If the structure has already been dismantled, photos of the wood as-is should be adequate.
• Samples- We also require that you send samples that are at least 1-2" thick x 3" wide x 6" long.
• Inventory- Please also send an inventory of your material with your photos and samples, including sizes and number of pieces that you have available to sell, or total board feet for the timbers and decking. We are most interested in large quantities of high quality wood.
• Contact Information- Be sure to include a contact name and phone number with your submission.

4.  Photos may be sent digitally to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), or with samples by regular mail to the attention of George Chesebro, Mountain Lumber Company, PO Box 289, Ruckersville, VA 22968.

All photos and samples sent to Mountain Lumber will become property of the company.   We cannot guarantee that we will purchase your wood by receiving a sample and photos.  However, we will promise to review the wood and respond to you quickly.

We look forward to hearing from you!
