Hynes Corner Wood Yard Open for Business
The wood yard has been closed for several months now forcing woodlot owners to have very little choice but to send their low grade hardwood and softwood products to the US. With the high gas prices and hassles of getting across the border, its been difficult to get these low value products to the mills. SNB will continue to take hardwood sawlogs and veneer on Thursdays only. For a complete listing of the product specifications and hours of operations please check out the spec page located in markets section [Click Here to go to the spec page]
