Columbia Riverwood manufacturers only the finest in Pacific Northwest wood products. Their uncommon lumber supply is salvaged from local rivers and provides customers with rare, tight grain Douglas Fir that is 150 to 350 years old. The result is a recycled, totally green product.

In today's marketplace, knowing how and where your raw materials come from is essential. With Columbia Riverwood, you can be assured that their lumber is FSC 100% Recycled from local river systems. Their company is also a member of the US Green Building Council and meet LEED point certification standards. Whether you are seeking environmental accreditation for your project or simply want to feel good about a low impact wood source, this product can assist in meeting your sustainability goals.

After being water bound for at least 50 years in the Columbia River, and hand selected for quality and grade, each boomstick is lifted out of the water, loaded onto a log truck and transported to a FSC-certified sawmill in Mehama, Oregon. Years of accumulated grit in the outer inch of each log requires the use of a large circular saw blade. Once that outer grit layer is removed, the beauty of old growth Douglas Fir is reclaimed into a variety of products.

While it may seem counterintuitive, the water actually cures the wood as the submerged timber is exposed to cold temperatures and a lack of oxygen in the river. These unmatched conditions preserve the wood and provide our customers with a one-of-a-kind product.
