True North Woods Species

The Minnesota forest is composed of the three major forest types – boreal, central pines, and hardwoods – and provides an opportunity to source a wide range of hardwood and softwood species in one location. The extreme cold weather produces close-grained and clear woods as well as rustic woods with high character.
