Bogalusa / Louisiana / United States
Founded in 1933, the Miles Lumber Company, originally known as Joe N. Miles & Sons, provides lumber manufacturing and procurement services. The company has grown to become a major producer of Southern Pine in the Southeast United States. Its products are cut from rich Southern yellow pine. Board size specifications range from 1x4 to 2x12 inches, with lengths up to 20 feet long. The process of log to finished board begins with the Infeed team. The Debarker is the first stop for the log. Here it is stripped of all its bark before it is sent to one of the two Deck Saws. At the Deck Saws, each log is cut into usable lengths and fed into the mill for processing. Its online picture library features company projects such as the Charity Golf Tournament, Debarker project as well as Bogalusa aerial photos. The Miles Lumber Company operates from locations in Bogalusa, La., and Silver Creek, Miss.
