North Fork Mill, 1940s. The front building is gone,
but the roof seen in the back left now houses CRL!
Here at the Crossroads Recycled Lumber yard we’ve salvaged millions of board feet of reclaimed lumber and timbers over the years. Every plank and beam was once part of a majestic tree, felled with a chainsaw, or by hand with a crosscut saw depending on the era, and shaped by millhands, in forests and mills across North America.
The Crossroads Recycled Lumber yard sits on the site of the old North Fork Mill, so we are reminded every day of the legacy that our wood leads. Over the years as the timber industry has declined, we have collected beams and trusses from sawmills deconstructed up and down the West Coast.
Logging remains one of the top two most dangerous jobs in America, and our lumber from these mills pays homage to the hard work of loggers, mill hands, and millwrights and the role they played in American History. It is a special honor for us to be able to help preserve the timbers from these mills through reuse.
