LUMBER, MILL & KILN
Lumber
The Yard is stocked with a mix of slabs, live edge, and dimensional lumber sourced in the greater Indianapolis metropolitan area. After we mill, our wood is air dried to a moisture content in the mid-teens, then heads to the kiln, and is taken down to a final moisture content in the 6-8% range. All lumber and slabs at Indy Urban Hardwood are rough cut.
