West
Hawaii Today Press Release - Jan 16, 2008
Hawaii
Island Hardwoods
is a limited liability company that is committed to
producing high quality lumber products from sustainable
and renewable timber lands in Hawaii. The company focuses
on locally grown species that can be delivered to the
markets efficiently, consistently and reliably and with
superior quality and characteristics. The principal
owner member managers of the LLC are all residents of
the state of Hawaii and each has extensive experience
in the management and direction of successful wood related
enterprises.
The company
currently has in inventory Eucalyptus Saligna, Eucalyptus
Robusta, Australian Red Cedar (Toona Ciliata) and Nepal
Alder. We currently have about 400,000 board feet of
E. Robusta timber under contract. HIH will have over
30,000,000 board feet of quality hardwood timber under
contract in the near future. This will include the species
listed above plus Koa, Queensland Maple and Tropical
Ash.
The company
is currently designing a state-of-the-arts sawmill,
lumber drying and finishing facility. The new mill will
be developed in two phases. The first phase will consist
of a state-of-the- arts vertical band mill “head-rig”
with computerized set works and laser beam guidance.
This machine will also have a relatively thin saw thickness
(kerf) that will help on product yields.
