CA Wood Supply Group
Local wood from stewardship-based practices
Source California.
California-grown wood,
ready to work.
California produces some of the finest timber in the country. The CA Wood Supply Group connects secondary manufacturers, builders, and designers to a vetted network of NorCal mills — so you can source confidently, spec locally, and connect your work to the forests, communities, and supply chains behind the material.
The Opportunity
Why California wood
Local logs are being burned because there is no market for them — while California imports 80% of its solid sawn lumber. That is the gap we are closing. California-grown species offer tight grain, natural durability, and regional character that imported material cannot match. Sourcing local keeps value in California's rural communities and supports the forest health work the state depends on.
What We Source
Products and species
- Structural and framing timbers
- Appearance-grade lumber
- Millwork-ready stock

Who We Are
The network behind the wood
The CA Wood Supply Group is coordinated by the Watershed Research and Training Center, a trusted steward of California's forest and wood economy. Far West Forest Products, headquartered in Olivehurst, CA, serves as the primary sourcing and supply partner for the network. Every supplier is vetted for quality, responsiveness, and realistic capacity. You are not sourcing blind. You have a vetted contact, clear lead times, and a single point of coordination at every step.
