Hardwood. This is due to the fact that we have strictly hardwood sawmills. We do manufacture some pine pallets if the customer requests, but it is the exception and not the rule.

| 9. What makes your lumber supply different from your competitors? |
|
Edwards Wood Products harvests trees within a 75 mile radius of it's locations. Our wet decks make the production of our lumber and pallets less vulnerable to shortages brought on by gaps in the harvest season due to weather conditions. Logs are brought in largest volume during the dry months and stored on our wet decks to ensure an ample supply of logs in the wet months when harvesting is more difficult.
