The inland timber, unique to Northeastern Washington and Southern BC, has begun to gain wide acceptance as an alternative to European Pine in Australia.  With the tight grain, small knots, strength and nail plate holding of the fiber, coupled with Vaagen Bros. Lumber's high standards of quality manufacturing, these products have been gaining attention in the component manufacturing market “down under”.

The recent agreement to operate a sawmill in Midway BC has opened the door for Vaagen Bros. Lumber to expand and formalize the Australian partnership with Moxon Timbers Australia.  The timber supply for the mill is the same tight grain, small knot timber used to supply Vaagen Bros. Lumber current Washington operations.  The Midway mill is being retooled and updated to provide the same high quality lumber products for which Vaagen Bros. Lumber is known.

The Moxon Timbers Australia and Vaagen Bros. Lumber are both family owned and operated companies that span multiple generations.  We look forward to the joining of these two family operations in a partnership to supply the exciting Australian construction market.
