Haywood Forest Products
Our Products
Our Specialty: Green Lumber
At the heart of our operation is green lumber—wood that is freshly milled and retains its natural moisture. This makes it ideal for applications like cross ties and industrial components, where strength and flexibility during installation are paramount. Green lumber is less prone to splitting when nailed and adapts well to structural uses where seasoning could compromise integrity.
OUR MISSION
At Haywood Forest Products, we carry forward a legacy built on generations of
experience in Southern pine mills and pine management. While our roots run deep in
the pine industry, our vision today is centered on the future of hardwood. Our mill
specializes in cutting hardwood logs, with a primary focus on producing high-quality
cross ties that help support the backbone of American railroads and infrastructure.
Our business is a true family effort, proudly run by Chris, Beth, Evan, and Hudson, each
bringing their own skills, values, and dedication to the operation. Family has always
been at the heart of what we do, and it remains the foundation of our company.
The name Haywood Forest Products is a tribute to our grandfather, Glenn Haywood
Bracewell, whose hard work, values, and love for the land continue to inspire us every
day. His legacy reminds us that forestry isn’t just about timber, it’s about stewardship,
tradition, and building something that lasts for generations.
Above all, our family’s faith in the Lord guides the way we live, work, and serve. We
believe that the land we manage and the business we operate are blessings entrusted
to us, and we strive to honor Him through integrity, hard work, and commitment to
others.
At Haywood Forest Products, we are proud to combine heritage, faith, and hard work to
serve our customers, support our community, and honor the land that sustains us.
