We are a small family owned business located in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. We provide quality wood for turning, carving, crafts, furniture makers and luthiers. Our specialty is quilted, curly, spalted and colored, western big leaf maple (acer macrophyllum). The following are pics of our little operation....

This is probably the "homeliest " little 5 ton you'll ever see.......but wait until you see what it can do!

Turning wood
Not only a 9000lb Hyab crane with a Flatdeck, but it has removable walls, and a man bucket for those hard to reach places....The box also dumps as well ....

We recently moved all of our wood sales over to our Ebay store. Much simpler to maintain it at one internet location. Here are some of our old website pages though, in the event a particular item isn't listed at the store. On the "oldsite", we show alot of the products that we don't normaly put on Ebay, like figured maple neck blanks for guitar, full size flamed ( curly ) maple blanks for guitar, violin and mandolin, and some quilted maple tonewood blanks. www.veddermountainhardwoods.com/oldsite
