Beyond Lumber:
Wood Products for Industrial Applications

by Jeff Schucker


Bailey Wood Products is best known for it's high quality lumber products. While many people know that we mill moulding and boards for flooring and decking, few know that Bailey regularly produces wood products for industrial applications. From our early days, when we sawed lumber into mine timbers for the mining industry, to the present day, we are always on the look out for new and exciting applications for wood products. Recently, a company in Texas contracted with Bailey Wood Products to supply materials and manufacture a wood component that guides electrical and media wires up girders in the Freedom Towers in NYC.


Car Tech has also contracted with us to create hard maple wear blocks for their rolling mill. Wood may not be the first material that comes to mind when considering industrial solutions; but, wood has specific properties that make it the best choice for certain applications. If you or someone you know is looking to solve a specific industry related issue, please call us. We would be glad to provide a solution.

The Other End of the Spectrum:
Fine Woodworking


We recently restocked 4/4 and 12/4 Curly Maple. It's great material for building an heirloom piece of furniture or for a project where you would like to show off the figure of the wood. The darker wood is Figured Sapele Mahogany. We have a selection of this material on hand in widths that are wide enough to make guitar sets. The figure is uniform throughout the piece and, when resawn, will produce great book matched sets for the discerning luthier. We also have guitar sets in Khaya Ivorensis (African Mahogany) and Bubinga (African Rosewood) that are sawn out and sanded, all ready to go. These are book matched and of great uniform color and figure.


Featured Project:
TimberStrong Decking, Gangway and Floating Dock



Bailey Wood Products is an authorized manufacturer of TimberStrong Decking Panels, as well as a supplier of wood products to Board Safe, a company that manufactures gangways, piers, walkways, and custom floating docks for both residential and commercial applications. Board Safe was contracted to create gangways and floating docks with grooved Ipe decking for one of their residential customers in West Wildwood, NJ. The Ipe wood was milled, made into TimberStrong deck panels, and the decking was installed on the gangway and floating dock at our location in Kempton, PA, before being shipped to the customer in New Jersey.

The End Result:
While Bailey supplies wood products and lumber for your projects, we are always interested in seeing the end result of your labor and expertise. We would love to feature your finished projects and completed installations in our newsletter "The Straight Cut" and on our website as well.
