		Independence Lumber, Inc. handles many different species of wood such as: Red Oak, White Oak, Maple, Basswood, Ash, Cherry, White Pine, Walnut, Hickory, and Poplar. All species coming through the mill are coordinated by Tony Bartlett and are separated by thickness and grade.

Cleereman Head Rig - squares up the larger, higher grade logs.

Jocar Band Re-Saw - has the capability to turn cants for grade recovery.

Cooper Scragg - saws the smaller to medium lower grade logs

Ligna Thin Curf Bull Edger - edges cants

Optimizing Edger - all boards needing to be edged pass through this machine.

Optimizing End Trimmer- all boards needing ends trimmed pass through this machine.

Our 70 Bay Sorter, the newest in computer technology, is streamlining productivity at ILC.

The larger higher grade logs are squared up by the Cleereman Head Rig. The logs are then fed to the Jocar Band Re-saw which has the capability to turn cants to determine the best faces for maximizing grade recovery. The small to medium, lower grade logs, are sawed by the Cooper Scragg. The Optimizing Edger & the Optimizing End Trimmer utilizes computer controlled scanners to get the maximum yield of lumber from each board with the least amount of waste. Over 10,000 board feet of lumber is produced each hour. The lumber is then collected in the 70 Bay Sorter. This new computer technology separates grades into lengths from 4/4 to 10/4, widths, color & thickness. All grades are based on NHLA Rules and Sales Codes to ensure a quality product.
