Fields Lumber concentrates on buying and selling only the finest lumber. We purchase lumber from over 100 sawmills across the Appalachian and Southern producing areas. Many of our suppliers have been manufacturing lumber, exclusively for Fields, for decades.

Company Profile:

A great percentage of our lumber is still shipped mill direct. However, when our lumber is delivered to our yard it is inspected and graded. It is then stickered and placed in buildings, or on the yard for air-drying. The company has over 300,000 BF of state of the art dry kilns, and approximately 200,000 board feet of air drying buildings. All kiln dried lumber is stored in a 2 million board foot dry storage building.

Each year the company produces some 30 million board feet of lumber. Of this total volume, about 15 million board feet is Fields Ash. Fields Ash, harvested in the Mid-South and Southwestern Appalachian region of the US, is characterized by firm texture and even color.

Fields Lumber handles a variety of thickness and grades in Poplar. The Poplar is well manufactured, straight, and flat. Fields carries thickness from 4/4 through 8/4, in the grades of #1 Common, FAS/F1F. We occasionally have #2 Common stock available as well.
