About Lake George Forest Products

Lake George Forest Products is a sawmill in Warrensburg, New York, in the heart of the Adirondacks. They manufacture and distribute Eastern White Pine and Northern Hardwood lumber and millwork, working with hard maple, soft maple, white oak, hickory, and black walnut as well as pine. The business started in 1991, when Thom and Mary Becraft set out on their own after Thom spent years as a sawmill and dry kiln manager and sales manager for a larger New England company. The sawmill next to their Warrensburg warehouse was added in 2005, and the operation has stayed a family business since, with their son handling purchasing and grading and their daughter on accounting and shipping. Thom is a "certified softwood and hardwood lumber inspector." Their pine is "selectively harvested from slow growth timber," giving it a tight grain and high heartwood content, and it's graded from D Select up through Premium, Cabinet, Flooring, Furniture, Standard, and Industrial. On the hardwood side they offer kiln dried and green hard maple and soft maple, FAS and Rustic hickory, FAS/Common/Rustic white oak, and black walnut that's steamed to even out the sapwood and heartwood color. They serve Warren County. This fits a landowner in Warren County who already knows roughly what species they're cutting and wants a long-running Adirondack mill to talk lumber grades and inventory with, rather than a company that walks the woodlot and makes a standing-timber offer.
