Welcome To Baker Hardwoods!

Thank you for visiting Baker Hardwoods! We're glad to welcome you to our spot on the internet.

We specialize in providing specialty lumber and custom milling of trees, logs and lumber. Our specialty lumber activities involve obtaining slabs from the largest trees or logs available.

We purchase trees that are designated for cutting or that have already been cut and are awaiting milling. We do not purchase heritage trees unless they are designated for cutting by the proper authorities. Typically logs or standing trees we purchase must have a main trunk of at least 10 feet in length and 30 inches in diameter depending upon species. This means we are able to provide you with some truly spectacular pieces.

California Claro Walnut is our most abundant species. We sell everything that our saw mills produce directly to our customers, including air dried or kiln dried slabs depending on species and time of year.  We produce high quality stock for coffee tables, conference tables, as well as crotches for panels, veneer, gunstocks or boxes.

We mill all of our inventory with our sawmills. Contact us for details about this if you are interested.

This walnut slab was milled in 2006. We air dry our slabs for 3 to 4 years or more depending upon the thickness. We can put pieces in the kiln after 2 years for faster drying if necessary. This slab is 5 feet wide by 17 feet long. The grain on this slab is truly something else. [Click on image for larger view.]

At 5 feet by 16 feet, slabs like this make a nice table top. These will be ready in September of this year. [Click on image for larger view.]
	Two dried matched pieces of claro walnut. These were milled in 1997. Combining these would make a ten by twelve foot table top. Each piece is 12/4 and over 5 feet wide and 141 inches at its maximum. [Click on image for larger view.]
A third dried walnut slab matching the two above. This measures a maximum of 139 inches but is wider at 70 inches.[Click on image for larger view.]
