Rough Sawn Lumber vs. Kiln-Dried Lumber

Rough sawn lumber is cut from timber into specific-sized planks but remains unplaned and air-dried, resulting in higher moisture content compared to kiln-dried wood. While kiln-dried lumber shrinks significantly during the drying process—often transforming a 2x4 into a final size closer to 1.5x3.5—rough sawn lumber retains more of its original dimensions due to its moisture content. This characteristic can make rough sawn lumber harder to find in lumber warehouses and big box stores, offering a unique alternative for those seeking to maintain the integrity of their wood dimensions.

Leave a Smaller Carbon Footprint with Sustainable, Rough Sawn Lumber

MTE uses traditional wood harvesting methods outlined by Chief Oshkosh of the Menominee Nation. This method includes harvesting only fallen, sick and full-grown trees — a forestry philosophy which lets us keep the Menominee Forest healthy and bountiful. MTE’s forest management team has used sustainable forest management practices for over 150 years, setting a standard for the timber industry.

Rough sawn lumber dries naturally in air drying stacks, without consuming fuel used in drying kilns. MTE cuts wood from the Menominee Forest, then transports it nearby to our Neopit Sawmill, located within the forest itself. This minimizes the transport process and lowers carbon usage associated with shipping wood.
