Mass timber is changing how buildings are constructed, from offices and schools to large commercial projects.

It’s not just happening in large manufacturing facilities. There’s an important role for lumberyards, fabrication shops, and other operations supporting these projects.

We put together a simple overview of what mass timber is, where it’s being used, and how businesses like yours may fit into this growing segment.

We're looking forward to being a part of the new Mass Timber & Prefabrication Showcase IWF Atlanta this August.

Mass timber construction uses CLT and glulam for faster, sustainable building. Learn key benefits, uses, and jobsite applications.

It’s a busy season in the Original Saw Company shop! 🎄

We’re hard at work building and shipping saws, roller tables, and measuring systems headed to Home Depot locations across the country—just in time for the holidays.

From manufacturing to final packaging, every saw is built right here in our Iowa shop with the same care and craftsmanship we’ve been known for since 1990.

Big thanks to our production team for keeping things moving during one of our busiest times of the year!
