Carter Manufacturing Company, Inc.
About Carter Manufacturing Company, Inc.
Carter Manufacturing Company, Inc. is a mill at 346 S Church St in Lake City, South Carolina. It calls itself "Family Owned and Locally Operated" and has been in Lake City since 1926. It makes handmade bushel baskets, typically used by crabbers, produce stands and home décor, along with covers and firewood. The baskets are made on a veneer lathe from pine, poplar and gum, held together with galvanized wire, then dried in an industrial dry kiln. Covers are made the same way. The firewood comes from the cores of the veneered logs, which dry partly on the log yard before being split and kiln dried. The area served is Florence County. This is a basket, cover and firewood maker. It does not buy standing timber or sell timber, and it does not log or manage land. A landowner looking for a timber buyer or a logging crew will need to look elsewhere. If you have pine, gum or poplar and want to know where that wood can go locally, this mill works with those species. It suits a landowner who wants to talk to a Lake City mill about wood, not a forester or timber buyer. From cartermfgbaskets.com, read 16 October 2026.
