Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce that we are the new owners of Westcoast Custom Timber! We want to thank the previous owner Chad for his time and effort helping us transition the business. We wish Chad well in focusing on Extek Construction Ltd. Give him a call for your general contracting, excavation and civil construction projects.
We look forward to helping you with your next milling project!
Sincerely,
Doug popadynec and family

We wanted to take the time to thank all of our customers and followers on Facebook and instagram. The last 6 years have been an amazing time, filled with all the ups and downs of running a business. We would not have made it this far without each and every one of you.

Last year we started another business and that has become increasingly busy. It was not an easy decision, but today we are happy to announce that Doug Popadynec and his sons have bought Westcoast Custom Timber and will continue to operate in the South Island area.

We can not wait to see where Doug takes Westcoast Custom Timber & can rest assured knowing our customers will be in great hands. Although we are saying farewell to this path we started on, Doug will continue from here.

From our family to yours, we wish you nothing but great success Doug now and in the future.

When the deer decide to come take a look at what’s happening in the forest. They didn’t seem to mind and we’re not scared of the noise or presence of our crew.

A beautiful place to set up and mill some logs in the Kindwood forest for the owners. We salvaged dead trees or winter blow downs from the past storm around the 100 acres and produced a pile of lumber for use on their farm. bout 12,000 bdft over about 6.5 days.

Other parts of the this project required us to fall the dead trees, limb the logs, skid them to the logging location and to prevent forest fire fuel from the limbs and to prevent smoke from slash burning we also chipped all the debris in to accessible mulch piles to be used for pathways and gardens around the property. This will return nutrition back to the forest and also prevent added smoke to our air.

A very fun project to be a part of!

Here’s a great photo Jordan Haley (Our Vertical Edging Technician) snapped for us. Can’t decide if I like the colour or b&w better.

That’s some beautifully clear lumber coming off our mill, to bad we had to leave it at the customers house!

Well this was a first for us. We had a mini feature in Cottage Life Magazine. A big thank you to our sawmilling team Phil and Jordan who continue to impress our customers, go above and beyond everyday, and get Westcoast Custom Timber noticed.
Thank you for the feature
