An important part of Maine’s building history and our company’s, Hancock Lumber has been sustainably growing and manufacturing this natural resource in Maine for over 165 years!

ONLINE PINE RESOURCES INCLUDE:
- Grades. Being able to truly understand a pine grade from a sample or still photo is difficult. We have created a ‘virtual pack inspection’ which allows you to view 6 layers of a product pack, at multiple width increments. This tool gives you and your end user a true scope of the unique look each grade provides.
- Patterns. Our planer and moulder capabilities are state-of-the-art, and our pattern library continues to grow! Architects and builders collaborate with our mill managers to create the pine board’s look and feel desired for the specific project. Explore our pattern library and specs online!
