North Fork Lumber Company

About North Fork Lumber Company

North Fork Lumber Company is a sawmill in Korbel, California, serving Humboldt County. It takes raw logs and turns them into solid wood products, working mainly with Douglas Fir and Hemlock Fir. In its own words, it "utilizes 100% raw wood material to create solid wood products," cutting Douglas and white fir logs into construction grade lumber through what it calls "zero-waste product utilization," turning sawdust, bark, hog fuel, soil, shavings, and woodchips into by-products rather than waste. It is an FSC Certified producer. The Korbel sawmill launched in 2017. This is a sawmill, not a timber buyer or logging contractor. It doesn't walk your woods, price standing timber, or offer forest management advice. What it does is process logs that are already cut, sorting them by species and milling them into graded lumber. For a landowner who already has logs ready to sell, or who wants to understand where Humboldt County timber ends up once it leaves the woods, North Fork Lumber Company is the kind of operation to know about. It's not the first call for someone still deciding whether to cut, but it's part of the chain once the cutting is done. From northforklumbercompany.com, read 4 October 2026.
