Rough Lumber for Sale in the Ottawa Valley: What You Need to Know

If you're searching for rough lumber for sale in the Ottawa Valley, you’re likely looking for something stronger, more affordable, and more natural than big box store boards.

At Alice Forestry Co., we provide locally milled rough cut lumber to customers across Alice, Round Lake, Rankin, Eganville, Pembroke, Petawawa, Cobden, Beachburg, Westmeath, Micksburg, Killaloe, and Osceola.

But what exactly is rough lumber — and why choose it?

What Is Rough Lumber?

Rough lumber is wood that has been milled but not planed smooth. It retains its natural saw texture and full dimensional thickness.

That means:

• Stronger structural integrity
• True sizing (a 2x6 is actually close to 2x6)
• Better value per board foot
• A more natural, rustic appearance

• Sheds
