Wm. H. Polley Woodworking & Lumber
is a small family owned hardwood lumber business located in the
foothills of the Pocono Mountains serving customers throughout
Northeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and up through
New England. Its founder "Bill" Polley, created the
company with the goal of providing quality hardwood lumber at
a reasonable price.
"I've been sawing and working
with wood for over 35 years. To insure the best quality possible
for my own woodworking projects, I have always sawed and dried
the lumber myself. My extensive experience in woodworking has
helped me to better understand the needs of the woodworker in
obtaining the type of lumber desired for his or her special project."
"Over the past five years, I
have curtailed my woodworking projects in order to supply my fellow
woodworkers and small shop owners with quality lumber at a reasonable
price. I still saw all the lumber myself, over 60 million board
feet in the last 35 years, either on my own bandsaw sawmill or
on a circular mill that I manage."
We start with select and prime grade
saw logs obtained locally, as this area has some of the best hardwood
timber available. Lumber is grade sawn, put on sticks immediately,
air dried under cover to plus or minus 20 percent moisture content(mc),
and then it is restacked in the kiln and dried to 6 to 8 percent
mc. The lumber is usually sold in the rough, or when required,
we can custom plane and or straight-line rip to customer specifications.
We also custom saw and dry lumber for customers who provide their
own logs.
