Supplier Highlight- Levi’s Sawmill

Nestled in the rugged beauty of Central Oregon, Levi’s Sawmill in La Pine is more than just a local lumber operation—it’s a testament to craftsmanship, sustainability, and community spirit. Since firing up its first saw in 2014, this family-run business has grown from a backyard setup to a thriving 12-acre mill, serving customers nationwide with high-quality, custom-milled lumber. We are proud to offer fantastic options from Levi’s in our ECO product line.

Dedication to sustainably sourced timber is a big deal. Levi’s specializes in local softwoods like Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, Western red cedar, Incense cedar, and Western juniper—much of it salvaged from fire-damaged or beetle-killed trees. This isn’t just about turning logs into boards; it’s about giving new life to resources that might otherwise go to waste. Their focus on juniper, in particular, ties into regional restoration efforts, helping clear overgrown forests while producing stunning, aromatic lumber. It’s a win for the environment and your next project.

Levi’s churns out rough-sawn, full-dimension lumber that’s a far cry from the mass-produced stuff you’d find at a big-box store. Whether it’s custom-cut timbers, live-edge slabs, or juniper landscape products, every piece is milled to order with precision and care. The blue-stain pine from fire salvage logs adds a unique, rustic flair you won’t find just anywhere. Customers rave about the consistency and attention to detail—proof that Levi’s fierce work ethic pays off in every board they produce.

Location plays a role in Levi’s magic, too. La Pine, with its population of just under 1,900, sits a short drive from Bend’s bustling scene, giving Levi access to a skilled crew that keeps the mill humming 12 hours a day. The Cascade Mountain views and high-desert air don’t hurt either—there’s something inspiring about milling lumber in such a wild, open landscape. It’s no wonder Levi’s turned a “happy accident” (he once laughed that he “didn’t mean to” start the business) into a thriving operation.

What’s truly great about Levi’s Sawmill, though, is the heart behind it. This isn’t a faceless factory—it’s a small, local outfit with big dreams, scaling up smartly without losing its roots. Levi’s blends old-school grit with forward-thinking systems, making it a model for what a modern sawmill can be. We are thrilled to partner with Levi’s in creating high quality, beautiful and sustainable wood products.
