Our History
It all started over 46 years ago when Floyd Decker selectively harvested the forests of Central New York using a horse to bring the logs out of the woods. It wasn’t long before he was managing operations for a local mill. He had the reputation for understanding wood, one that led the late U.S. Senator Moynihan to ask Decker to manage his private lands.
Today we have evolved into three timber operations, employ 35 people, and are located on a 21-acre site in Bainbridge, NY.
Meeting your wholesale and custom milling needs.
Quality Hardwoods is a state-of-the-art mill producing 7 million board feet of fine furniture and cabinet grade hardwood each year. All lumber sawn is selectively harvested from local forests. Doing this we can produce exceptional lumber, which is kiln dried and finished for flooring, paneling, trim, cabinet making and more,
As you may suspect, nothing goes to waste at Quality Hardwoods. By-products of our mill are important components of our manufacturing process. Whether you need sawdust for your barn, wood chips or mulch to enhance your landscape, we’ve got it.
With over 45 years of mill experience behind us, you can be sure that you’re receiving the highest quality products in the northeast. Why go anywhere else?
Specializing in comprehensive timberland management and conservation.
The health of our forest lands has become a major, international initiative. Since 1977 Decker Forest Products has worked diligently at sustaining and managing local forests in Central New York. We strive to align our timber production with a strong commitment to the environment – wildlife conservation, recreational use, and aesthetic appeal – which will last for generations to come.
