Durable Southern Yellow Pine Cants milled precisely for industrial, structural, and custom timber applications requiring consistent strength.
A cant is more than a big piece of wood. It’s possibility waiting to be unlocked. At Foothills, we produce Southern Yellow Pine cants ranging from 4×4 up to massive 20×20 dimensions, in lengths reaching 30 feet.
These are the building blocks for remanufacturers, timber framers, and industrial customers who need substantial material to work with. We cut each cant with clean faces and precise dimensions, giving you maximum yield and minimum waste when you take it to your saw.
Buyers receive strong, consistent Southern Yellow Pine Cants, milled for industrial precision. Our process ensures dependable supply, structural integrity, and flexibility for construction, pallet production, and heavy timber projects.
Cants occupy a unique space in the lumber world. They are not quite finished lumber, but they are more than raw logs. They represent the sweet spot where you get maximum material with minimum processing, leaving the final cuts to you.
We produce our SYP cants from carefully selected logs that offer straight grain, minimal taper, and clean interiors. Each log is evaluated before milling to ensure it will yield quality material. The resulting cant gives you clean faces on all sides, ready for your remanufacturing process. Whether you are producing dimensional lumber, specialty profiles, or massive timbers for heavy timber construction, starting with our cants saves you time and maximizes your yield.
We understand that for remanufacturers, every board foot matters. That’s why we take care in milling, ensuring your cants deliver the specifications and dimensions you expect. From furniture components to construction timbers, our cants provide the foundation for your next creation.

A cant is a large piece of wood with four square or rectangular faces, typically produced by removing the rounded edges of a log. Unlike finished lumber, cants are designed for further processing by remanufacturers. They give you maximum material with minimal waste for your own milling operation.
Our cant customers include lumber remanufacturers, timber frame companies, industrial users, and specialty woodworkers who need large material for further processing. Cants give these businesses the flexibility to produce their own finished products while controlling quality and yield.
Quality starts with log selection. We choose logs with straight grain, minimal taper, and few defects. During milling, we ensure clean faces and precise dimensions. Each cant is evaluated before shipping to ensure it meets our standards and your expectations for yield.
Lead times vary based on size, volume, and current production schedules. For standard sizes, we typically need 2-3 weeks. Larger dimensions or specialty requirements may take longer. Contact us early in your planning process so we can schedule accordingly.
We produce Southern Yellow Pine cants ranging from 4x4 inches up to 20x20 inches, with lengths up to 38 feet. We can also accommodate custom sizes for specific projects. Contact us with your requirements and we will let you know what we can do.
We offer cants in various grades depending on your needs. Our standard cants are suitable for general remanufacturing. For customers requiring higher grade material for visible applications, we can select logs specifically for cleaner faces and tighter grain patterns.
Yes, we can supply SYP cants intended for treatment. If your final product requires treated timber, we will mill cants from wood species and grades suitable for treatment. We can also coordinate with treatment facilities if you need help connecting with the right partners.
Absolutely. We value long-term relationships with remanufacturers and industrial customers. If you purchase cants regularly, let's talk about setting up a consistent supply arrangement with pricing that reflects our ongoing partnership.
