Roundwood Framing
Although there are many species suitable for working into roundwood lumber, the local Eastern Red Cedar (ERC) is considered an invasive nuisance to both ranchers and prairie restoration efforts throughout the Great Plains. We collaborate with those wishing to remove it from their lands and harvest/prepare them for use in small diameter framing. These are then used to make simple frames for small structures such as garden sheds and chicken coops. As they are not a graded lumber species, their use is currently limited to non-permitted structures but we are working to change that.
