Plentiful Supply of White Oak
Independent Stave Company purchases high-quality white oak logs from a network of over 5,000 loggers in the Eastern U.S. hardwood forest region. We also purchase land in the same region to both further secure a supply of oak for our customers and assist in the active management and sustainability of our American oak forests.
