Wholesale Kiln-Dried Logs: Your Go-To Partner in Michigan

wholesale kiln dried logs

You’re juggling deadlines, budgets, and client expectations. The last thing you need is an unreliable supplier. 

We get it. 

At Northern Log Supply, we’ve built our whole supply chain to make your life easier. We deliver solutions that make your job easier, from high-quality materials to streamlined service.

Let’s talk about why kiln-dried logs are the smart choice and how Northern Log Supply can be your partner in making your next project a success.

What Makes Kiln-Dried Logs the Best Choice?

-

Here’s the deal: not all logs are created equal.

Kiln-dried logs go through a process that removes excess moisture, leaving you with wood that’s stable, strong, and ready to work with. Unlike green or air-dried logs, kiln-dried wood doesn’t warp, twist, or shrink after installation.

Why does that matter?

Less movement means fewer headaches for you down the road. The structures you build will look better, and last longer.

You’ll also appreciate that kiln-dried logs resist pests and mold. That’s a win for your clients and a big selling point for any project—residential or commercial.

Best of all, kiln-drying is a relatively fast process (at least compared to air-dry). And because we have exclusive access to a significant portion of Michigan forest, our relationship as your supplier will continue on from project to project. 

We’ve got as much heavy timber as you’ll ever need. That’s fewer delays for you and a happy client on your end. 

What Do Kiln-Dried Logs Bring to the Table?

For starters, they’re durable. Whether you’re building a log home, a retail space, or a wedding venue, kiln-dried logs add structural integrity you can count on.

But that’s not all. Kiln-dried logs also:

  • Save you time with pre-stained or pre-finished options.
  • Look incredible, with a smooth, polished finish.
  • Insulate well, which means better energy efficiency for your clients.

In short, they’re a material you can be proud to use and recommend.

Why Work with Northern Log Supply?

Northern Log Supply isn’t just another lumber company. We’re a family-owned business based right here in Michigan, and we know the construction game inside and out.

We control the entire process—from harvesting the logs to delivering them to your site. That means you’re not dealing with middlemen or extra markups. You’re getting quality wood, crafted to your specs, directly from the source.

We’ve been doing this since 2006. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for making life easier for contractors and project managers. Our products are made for easy installation and are customized to fit your needs.

Looking for paneling? Log siding? Barn wood? We’ve got you covered. Everything can come pre-stained or pre-finished, so you can hit the ground running on installation.

When you partner with Northern Log Supply, you’re getting more than just quality materials. You’re getting wood that’s locally crafted, sustainably sourced, and ready to ship fast.

That local connection helps you cut down on transportation costs and delivery times. Plus, it’s something you can highlight to your clients. Michigan wood has a story, and it brings a sense of authenticity to every project.

We Make the Process Simple

We know you’ve got enough to worry about. That’s why we keep things straightforward.

When you’re ready to place an order, we’ll work with you to figure out exactly what you need. Whether it’s custom-milled wood or bulk orders of log siding, we’ll make it happen.

Our team also helps arrange shipping. We’ve got relationships with carriers across the country, so you’ll get a delivery plan tailored to your project’s size and location.

When the order arrives, all you need is the equipment or manpower to unload it. We’ll make sure it’s easy to verify everything’s in perfect shape before you get started.
