Miller Lumber

The dusty horse-drawn lumber wagons that 70 years ago hauled planks to erect Bend's historic Pine Tavern have now become a convoy of flatbeds delivering wood for entire subdivisions. A family business spanning three generations and four locations, Miller Lumber has been proudly serving Central Oregon for almost a century - nearly as long as Bend itself has existed.

In 1954, Miller Lumber sent this float down the Deschutes River through Drake Park for the long-since retired Bend Water Pageant. The Miller Lumber Company took out an ad in the paper to offer their congratulations and to announce the 1936 opening of Bend's famous Pine Tavern restaurant. In 1960, The Miller Lumber Company moved from their Wall St. location to a cutting-edge new building on Division.

Miller Lumber stocks a variety of environmentally friendly building materials. In addition, since 2005 Miller Lumber has been an approved chain of custody supplier of FSC certified lumber and plywood. Contact your sales rep for sourcing availability. Always working toward better internal sustainability, Miller Lumber recently re-lit the Bend headquarters with energy efficient LED bulbs, as part of Oregon's Energy Trust program. The yards have intensified efforts of separating and keeping out of the landfill many tons of wood and metal recyclable materials.

The Canadian Wood Council (the national association representing Canadian manufacturers of wood products) has a mission to maintain and expand markets for Canadian wood products by working with building codes and standards and by developing and communicating technical information to architects, engineers, and builders.
