JHT LUMBER – Old Growth Stock
Lumber is back at Jackson Hole Tim! We have specialized in Old Growth sustainably harvested Alaskan Yellow Cedar and Port Orford Cedar since 2004. Our Genesis was in the parts business supplying specialty lumber for the Native American Style flute community. We sell both rough sawn stock to finished flute blank kits for weekend warriors, hobbyists, and professional builders.
Today we sell all types of Alaskan Yellow and Port Orford Cedar much of which we stock on the ground in the form of premium boards that feature natures perfect vertically sawn grain. Boards come in lengths up to 16+ feet in length and most inventory is in the 8 – 12 inch in width and 8/4 thick stock.

Port Orford Cedar is my favorite wood to work with. It machines beautifully, smells like heaven when working with it, strong and produces excellent tone qualities. Very hard to get and over 6 months of waiting to get this load. If you are a lover of POC then don’t wait and get yours now.

Jackson Hole Tim is family owned and operated from Afton Wyoming here in the Yellowstone Basin. Our small farm shop sits in-between the east and west mountain ranges of Star Valley Wyoming. Early next spring we hope to build a new Farm Shop Store that you can stop by especially for those who travel through the Yellowstone Basin during our beautiful Summer months.
Three Markets Served
We are small but mighty in our ability to meet the needs of the hobbyist, semi-professional and fulltime professional craftsman. We maintain enough stock on the ground here in Wyoming to meet the needs of most all 3 customer types.
Purchase a single board or billet up to larger quantities of lumber in various sizes. No job is too small or too big for us to help you find the best Alaskan Yellow Cedar available for your next project. Our focus is providing old growth stock in smaller quantities so that the average craftsman can seek and find the best quality Alaskan Cedar being harvested today, even in very small quantities.
If you are a flute builder, luthier, turkey call maker, relief carver, lathe turner, bird carver, cabinet or furniture maker and if you have ever worked with species as fine as Alaskan Cedar before then we may be a good fit and resource for your next project.
