About us
Midwest Hardwood is a complete forest-to-customer lumber company. Our process begins with harvesting trees and ends with the delivery of a finished lumber product. We own and operate three sawmills, three dry kilns, and three distribution yards. Because we sell our product at all levels of production, our customers range from log buyers, to green lumber purchasers, distributors, national and international manufacturers, and even local cabinet shops.
Beginning in the forest, we work directly with land owners to ensure the proper care of their land. Our forestry practices are designed to help maintain healthy forests for many future generations.
Why Harvest
Forests and woodlands are much like gardens and crops in that mature trees, those with poor form, poor quality, disease, or of undesirable species, should be removed periodically. Properly thinned hardwood stands promote forest health, protect your investment, and concentrate growth and nutrients on the best quality trees. Forest management also provides for an abundance of plant species on the forest floor that are enjoyed by animals such as white tailed deer and wild turkeys. Ultimately, proper thinning of trees promotes a more diverse ecosystem.
Our Sawmills produce pallet decking and stringers. Our low grade lumber material is precision end trimmed and resawed to meet customer specifications. Producing from high and low density hardwoods, products such as Aspen, Basswood, Red Oak, White Oak and Hard Maple.
Thermally Enhanced Hardwoods
PhoenixWood™ is a line of thermally-enhanced hardwood lumber that resemble high-priced exotic hardwoods while using domestic sustainably harvested species. Patented in Europe in the late 1990’s and widely used today, the Thermal-Wood process has been used to make mouldings, flooring, paneling and decking for many years. Now this European technology has been brought stateside.
Combined with FSC certification, PhoenixWood™ hardwood lumber provides you with a wood readily available that is harvested and processed in an environmentally sensitive manner. In the enhancement process there are no environmental emissions and the resulting product has many characteristics never before available in North American hardwoods. These characteristics include:
- Consistent color throughout
- Improved dimensional stability
- Greatly reduced water absorption
Because the color in PhoenixWood™ is consistent through the full thickness of the piece, a PhoenixWood™ floor can be scratched and still retain the same color, making it ideal for heavy wear, commercial environments. The dimensional stability of PhoenixWood™ is 2 to 3 times greater than untreated wood, making it the perfect product for flooring and mouldings in environments where winter moisture contents that are very low contrast with summer humidity. PhoenixWood greatly reduced water absorption can also benefit high traffic, commercial environments where frequent floor cleaning is necessary.
For companies looking to mesh environmental responsibility with the best product available, PhoenixWood™ is the answer. With PhoenixWood™ no tropical forests were destroyed, yet the same rich, dark durable look is attained. Specify PhoenixWood™ for your next product and you will see why this exciting, contemporary technology is being sought after worldwide.

Rail Ties are produced mainly in 7”x9”’s, we have the ability to cut other sizes if needed, lengths 8’-12’, as well as ability to custom grade ties to a customer’s specifications. All of our ties are produced from northern dense hardwood.
Cants are manufactured from the low grade heart portion of the sawlogs.
We have the capabilities to cut sizes from 4”x4” to 12”x12” up to 12’ long.
To determine the board feet of one board, the procedure is to multiply the surface measure by the thickness. A package of hardwood lumber can be estimated in much the same manner. First, figure the "surface measure" of one layer of lumber. do this by multiplying the width of the package by the length of the package, less gaps (if mixed lengths, use an average of lengths present) and divide by 12. Then, multiply this figure by the thickness of boards in the package. This total will be board feet for one layer, so multiply this by the number of layers to get the total feet in the package.
Average width of unit 40" (lumber only, after allowing for gaps)
| Length of unit 10' | |
| 40" x 10' = 400 ÷ 12 = | 33.33 |
| Thickness of lumber 8/4 | x2 |
| 66.66 | |
| Number of layers |
x10 |
