Perfect Blend of Technology and Craftsmanship

Using a 7 foot wide by 20 foot long hydraulic chain mill, Scot Wineland slabs out the logs in our inventory. As we mill the lumber or slabs, the wood is waxed to prevent cracking, then stacked and stickered to minimize warping or twisting. The logs are then set on a level area and covered to start the drying process. Depending on the thickness of the slab, the drying time can range from one to five years if dried naturally. Every board is photographed and documented according to color, figure, and flaws. At Wineland Walnut, we air dry all of our products to keep the development of flaws during the drying process to a minimum and to help insure the highest quality products. Once our wood has been brought down to 18% moisture content, it is available for purchase. When it comes to gunstocks, our experts personally lay out each gunstock to maximize the color, figure, and grain of the wood being used. We have perfected the blend of technological advancements with good, old-fashioned hands on craftsmanship.
