About Us
|
A husband wife team, we're a two man company. Scott looks after the hard work of locating the trees and processing them into clean, properly sized & processed firewood. Melody does the majority of the marketing & delivery. Living in the area all of our married life, we've watched the community grow, and we've set a goal to grow with it & meet the needs of our area. We're happy to sell you any amount of wood - large or small and any time you can catch us on the phone and the wood yard is dry - WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS. If it's rained out & you still need wood, we do have a small supply of pine in a dry area for immediate sale.

Our History
|
Starting out as a small hobby business over 16 years ago, we have grown to become a major competitor in the local firewood business. We constantly compare pricing with others in the area to ensure that we are giving you the best value for your dollar. Scott started out splitting his first logging truck load of birch by hand before deciding that he really liked working with firewood. He then progressed to a wheel splitter, and upgraded to a JAPA processor in 2003. In 2007 we added a 2 cord delivery trailer to our business enabling us to deliver any quantity up to & including 2 cords of wood within a 70 km. radius. The demand for quality wood keeps increasing, and in 2015, we upgraded to a Cord Master, Cord King processor in an effort to keep up to our growing customer base.

News of More & Better Things to Come
For all of the years that we've been in the firewood business, Scott has also worked a job driving a semi for a pipeline construction company. Of course in the last several years, he's worked out less and less; not by choice, but rather due to the Alberta Advantage disappearing. In 2016 Scott's job disappeared. As we look back on the last two years, we realize that God has had a hand in this playing out. We have not been dependent on that outside paycheck, but rather have focused on growing our business into the best customer service experience we can make it. To that end, we are also diversifying, and have added a small band mill to our operation. Often we gets trees that are just HUGE - and it seems a pity to process them into firewood. We now cut custom wood - not only your run of the mill fence boards, but fireplace mantles, odd size fascia boards that you cannot just 'buy', specialty birch chunks for wood turning - that type of thing. We've already had several sales in this area, and are looking forward to where this side of our business will go. Time to cut, or the lack thereof, is always a determining factor in how much wood can be cut. (I will be posting photos of some of the beautiful work our customers have done, but again that time factor plays in here. :) )
A few years ago we had the privilege of working with a local fencer on a large contract for a historic project. We were able to provide tamarack fence posts and rails for the job - a product he could not have obtained from the local fencing supply store. This gave the job the 'authentic touch' he was going for.
A local wedding venue has purchased tamarack timbers and a pine vanity top for their facilities. The custom wood market is exciting, and growing. We are looking forward to seeing just where it is that God leads us to in the years to come, but really believe that for now it is to remain right here where we are offering the best customer service that we can to make our business a thriving one so that we will be here for many more years. We want to be the firewood yard that you can count on!!
