Surfacing of the KD Pine

Interest in Yakama Ponderosa Pine shop and moulding as well as commons has been incredible. The majority of the industry is well aware of the fact that some of the highest quality ponderosa pine logs come off of the Yakama Nation timber lands. The Yakama tribe has never clear cut and has always practiced selective harvesting ever since the first timber was commercially cut in the late 1940's.

Here are some pictures of the newest addition to the YFP product line as it is being surfaced, graded and put into units for shipment.
