COMPASS LUMBER PRODUCTS INCORPORATED

Compass Lumber Products, Inc. was started in 1978. We have been in continuous operation since, serving the retail lumber-yards of California. Our focus, for the first 15 years, was to supply the highest grades of solid redwood lumber with impeccable service. We believe we achieved those goals. In the last of the 1980’s, we saw a need to begin to expedite the conservation of our redwood forests to help sustain the resource we sold. At that time, we began to experiment with finger-jointed redwood as a means of using waste and inferior grades to produce a high quality clear product. After 21 years of experimenting with different combinations, we feel we now produce the highest quality F.J. Trim boards and F.J. Vertical Grain Redwood sidings available in the industry today.

At the dawn of the new millennium, we saw that the high quality Redwood, which seemed to be so abundant in past years, was becoming less and less available.
