Friends in the Hardwood Lumber Industry:

As most of you are aware, Coastal Lumber company ceased operations on August 12, 2011 as a result of the continuing construction industry recession and reaching an impasse with its bank.

We understand and regret the inconvenience and financial hardship that this has caused our people, our customers, and our vendors. We sincerely apologize for this disservice.

Please direct any questions regarding Coastal Lumber Company to:

Regretfully,
