Oaks Unlimited, INC
About Oaks Unlimited, INC
Roughly three-quarters of what moves through this Jonathan Creek yard is exported. Oaks Unlimited has been buying, drying and grading Appalachian hardwood since 1979 from a 20-acre site at about 3,000 feet, 35 miles west of Asheville, turning over around 20 million board feet a year and holding an inventory of more than two million feet in 4/4 through 8/4. Seven kilns take lumber to 6-8 percent moisture, and a Weinig gang rip with 17-point board scanning, a Newman planer and an automated grading station handle the rest. The family is three generations in - the grandfather's stave mills once supplied whiskey barrel staves to Japan - and average employee tenure runs past fourteen years. A custom sawmilling station added recently lets the company saw locally sourced logs for its own kilns.
