About Whitethorn Construction Supply

Whitethorn Construction Supply is a family owned and operated business in Whitethorn, California, at 545 Shelter Cove Rd. The campus sits between Redway and Shelter Cove in Southern Humboldt County, and the business has served the community since 1963. Its hardware and garden store sells lumber, hardware and garden supplies. Its wood side runs an on-site mill, a wood kiln and a woodshop. The mill saws native California hardwoods and some softwoods into slabs, flooring and lumber. The species include California Claro Walnut, Tanoak, Madrone, Pepperwood, Black Oak, Chinkapin, Redwood, Douglas Fir, Cypress and Pacific Yew. It also does custom milling, slab flattening, planing and sanding for woodworkers. Its goal is to mill or buy green wood, then air dry and kiln dry it, and it says there is "nothing quite like hardwood that has been dried slowly and thoroughly." It offers green wood now and then, mostly slabs, and it has sold whole logs that it mills to the buyer's specs. The woodshop makes bespoke and finished furniture and trains makers in traditional woodworking skills. This suits a landowner in Southern Humboldt County with native hardwoods, such as tanoak or madrone, who wants them milled and dried into lumber or slabs, or who wants whole logs milled to a set of specs.
