Video Transcript

[Cinematic music plays throughout the video. 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?”

Air-Dried for Export Stability

We air-dry our lumber to 18-25% moisture content to stabilize the wood for export. This process reduces container weight compared to green lumber and minimizes checking or degradation during transit. Ideal for international buyers managing their own kiln operations.

Product Specs:

  • Moisture Content: 18-25% (Air-Dried)

  • Protection: Dip-treated (anti-stain/anti-mold) & ISPM 15 compliant.
