Where it Grows

The majority of our White Oak is harvested in an environmentally sustainable manner from the prime growing regions of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.

Our modern manufacturing facilities are strategically located near our timberlands, interstate superhighways,

rail networks and some of the busiest seaports in the world—all of which allow us to offer
our premium products at competitive prices (see Species Map).
