Why Northern Log Supply is Michigan’s Top Timber Frame Supplier: Quality, Craftsmanship, and Customization
Let’s get one thing straight: not all timber frames are created equal.
If you think buying your wood from a faceless big-box store will give you that rustic cabin vibe or commercial masterpiece you’re after, you’re in for a rude awakening.
Timber ain’t just wood—it’s the bones, the heart, and the spirit of the structure.
But if you want wood with character—wood that feels like it belongs in Michigan—you need Northern Log Supply.
Your timber frame should reflect your values, not just hold up your roof. In Michigan, a house is an investment, a statement, and a place to sit back after a day’s work with a hot drink (or a cold one—we don’t judge)
What Makes Northern Log Supply Michigan’s Top Timber Frame Supplier?
What makes us special?
Family-owned, homegrown, and as deeply rooted in Mayville, Michigan’s forests as the trees we mill, Northern Log isn’t just another supplier. We’re part of your project’s DNA. Every plank, post, or truss we ship comes directly from the woods of Michigan, straight through our saws, and lands—without any unnecessary middleman games—right to your doorstep or jobsite.
You need it pre-engineered? No problem. Pre-finished? Easy. Want a cedar staircase that screams “made to last”? We got you.
There’s a reason we’ve become the go-to timber frame supplier in Michigan. We control the entire process—from harvesting the wood to milling, drying, and shipping it straight to your site.
No middleman means no marked-up prices or compromises on quality. We can even pre-stain and pre-finish your materials to cut down installation time (and save you headaches).
And here’s the best part: whether you’re a contractor in Grand Rapids, an architect in Traverse City, or a homeowner looking to build your dream cabin on Lake Michigan, we’ve got the perfect timber frame solution for you.
Our expert craftsmen build everything from trusses to staircases, barn wood siding, and log paneling. Got a custom idea? Bring it on—we love a challenge.
- Local Expertise & Quality Control: Every piece of wood we touch is inspected by our team to meet the highest standards. You won’t find warped beams or half-baked finishes in our shipments. It’s Michigan wood at its finest, handled by Michigan hands.
- Rustic Meets Modern: While we love that old-school log cabin feel, we’re not stuck in the past. Barn wood and shiplap? Yeah, we do that too. We blend traditional craftsmanship with modern trends to bring your vision to life.
- Commercial-Grade Capacity: Got a massive commercial project in the works? No sweat. Our production facilities are designed to meet large-scale demands, with the capability to pre-engineer products to fit your specs.
Customer Testimonials and Case Studies: Real Stories, Real Results
Here’s a good one: A customer in Traverse City once called us in the dead of winter, asking for custom log railing after their old staircase collapsed during a snowstorm. We not only got them the railing—they had it installed and ready before the holidays. Another one of our favorite reviews comes from Kelsey Menegotto:
"The products look amazing, are so well-built, and were affordable. Shipping was quick!"
