Midwest Walnut LumberQuality Control

Through continuous testing of samples and strict kiln schedules, we are able to ensure top quality on all of our lumber products, from 4/4 to 20/4 thickness. Prior to putting the lumber in the kiln, the walnut lumber is steamed for 48 to 72 hours.  After the preliminary air-drying, all lumber is subsequently loaded into one of the 25 dry kilns for the final drying process.  In addition to our quality regiments, we constantly maintain a total of 25 dry kilns.  This enables Midwest Walnut to constantly maintain a complete inventory of all thicknesses and grades, including squares and dimensional products.
