There is no dialogue. Once the tour moves inside the sawmill, the sounds of industrial machinery can be heard over the music.\] The video begins with white text on a black background, "Are You in The Group?" The words vanish in a burst of flames as the Turman Forest Products logo appears. The logo fades to reveal a wide aerial view of our Appalachian sawmill and extensive log yard, with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background. This is followed by a montage of our massive inventory, showing ground-level pans, split-screens, and aerial shots of hardwood logs stacked and ready for processing. Heavy machinery, including front-loaders, are shown efficiently moving harvested timber in the yard. We see a log truck arriving and a semi-truck being loaded with finished, banded bundles of sawn lumber. The view then moves inside the sawmill to show our manufacturing process: logs are passed through industrial saws, cut into cants, and then precisely resawn into green lumber planks. Our team is shown grading and guiding the fresh hardwood lumber as it moves down the conveyor system. The video concludes with a final, wide aerial shot of the entire Turman Forest Products facility, followed by our logo and the text "A Turman Group Company" and "Are You in The Group?" ## We Buy Standing Timber in the Blue Ridge Mountains ### Landowners Got Timber?

Since our beginnings, we have been dedicated to sustainable forestry practices and building lasting partnerships with landowners, loggers, and businesses throughout Virginia and beyond. ## A Legacy of Sustainable Appalachian Hardwood Products ## Our 45 Year History & Commitment Our story begins in 1981 when the Allen family founded our sawmill as Hilltop Lumber. In 2018, we were proudly acquired by The Turman Group and became Turman Forest Products, combining decades of local heritage with the strength of a leading forest products organization. Today, with a team of approximately 30 dedicated employees, we continue our commitment to quality and community. We purchase over 6 million board feet of logs and standing timber annually, supporting local landowners and the regional economy. ## From Forest to Final Product: The Power of Vertical Integration Turman Forest Products is a key component of The Turman Group, an organization of vertically integrated companies. This means we manage nearly every step of the wood product lifecycle—from sustainably harvesting timber to manufacturing and distributing the final product. This "forest to final product" philosophy gives us unparalleled control over quality, efficiency, and sustainability. ![The Turman Group Logo](https://www.turmanforestproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/TG-Circle-Sml.png) ## The Turman Group Advantage - **Unmatched Quality Control:** Our oversight begins in the forest. By managing timber procurement and operating our own sawmills, we ensure that only the highest quality Appalachian hardwood enters our supply chain. This quality is maintained at every subsequent step, from the kiln to the flooring mill. - **Supply Chain Reliability:** Because we aren't solely dependent on third-party mills or log suppliers, we can maintain a consistent, streamlined, and reliable flow of materials. This minimizes delays and ensures we can meet our commitments to you. - **Total Sustainability:** Vertical integration allows us to practice **full-circle utilization**. Every part of the log has a purpose within The Turman Group. A log that arrives at our facility may become lumber, with the bark being processed into mulch, the chips converted into fuel pellets, and the sawdust used for boiler fuel. This commitment to using the entire resource minimizes waste and maximizes value.

This isn't just a title; it's a verification backed by U.S. Forest Service data. This data confirms that the timber growth in the Appalachian Hardwood Region far outpaces what is harvested. - **Growth Outpaces Harvest:** For every tree harvested in the Appalachian region, **2.4 trees are growing** in its place. This ensures the long-term health and expansion of our forests. - **Third-Party Assurance:** This program provides our customers with trusted, third-party assurance that our wood products are sourced from a healthy, regenerating, and sustainably managed forest. - **Protecting a Vital Resource:** Our participation in this program demonstrates a commitment to responsible practices that protect biodiversity, water quality, and the overall forest ecosystem. ### Our Sustainable Practices in Action Our commitment goes beyond certifications. It's reflected in our daily operations and our partnership with landowners. - **Full Forest Utilization:** As a zero-waste facility, we ensure that every part of the log is used efficiently. High-quality lumber is our primary product, while bark is processed into mulch, sawdust is used for fuel, and wood chips are supplied for paper production. - **Landowner Partnerships:** We work closely with landowners to develop timber management plans that meet their financial goals while promoting the long-term health of their woodland. This includes selective harvesting techniques that allow younger, healthy trees to thrive. - **Continuous Reinvestment:** By creating a strong market for sustainable wood products, we encourage landowners to keep their lands forested rather than converting them for other uses, ensuring our forests remain a vital and renewable natural resource. ![Freshly cut hardwood logs being loaded at Turman Forest Products sawmill yard in Bedford Virginia.](https://www.turmanforestproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hardwood-logs-loading-sawmill-turman-forest-products-bedford-va-scaled.jpg "Freshly Cut Hardwood Logs Loaded at Bedford Sawmill") #### Quality you can see — Partnership you can trust For over 45 years, Turman Forest Products has been serving national and global customers.

Our lumber is naturally air-dried, ensuring superior stability and significantly reducing weight. This method delivers lumber with greater structural integrity for transport and lowers overall freight costs. Sourced from sustainable Appalachian hardwoods, our lumber is precision-milled and ready for stable, worldwide shipping. ## Naturally Air Dried for Stability and Efficiency - Turman Forest Products produces shipping dry lumber—hardwood that has been naturally air-dried to a moisture content (approx. 18-25%) ideal for export and further processing. - This process provides a crucial balance between green lumber and kiln-dried lumber. It significantly reduces shipping weight and improves dimensional stability, all without the added processing time and cost of kiln drying, ensuring a lighter, more stable product that maintains integrity through transport. ![Stacks of ship dry Appalachian hardwood lumber wrapped and stored for export at Turman Forest Products yard in Virginia.](https://www.turmanforestproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/tuman-forest-products-ship-dry-hardwood-lumber-stacks-appalachian-virginia-1024x768.png "Ship Dry Hardwood Lumber Stacked for Export – Turman Forest Products, Virginia") ## Consistency — Quality — Sustainability.
