With a capacity of approximately 560 million board feet of lumber annually, Dunkley Lumber’s Strathnaver mill is one of the largest sawmilling facilities in North America.
This facility is located near the community of Hixon, British Columbia, approximately 75 kilometers south of Prince George and 40 kilometres north of Quesnel.
The mill produces all sizes of dimension lumber and boards, primarily from kiln-dried SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fir), but also from kiln-dried or green Douglas Fir.
Dunkley also manufactures a wide variety of specialty and value-added products, including trimblocks, shop, clears, economy, fascia trimboard and precision end trimmed lumber.
