Start with the rising sun and work toward the setting sun, but take only the mature trees, the sick trees, and the trees that have fallen. When you reach the end of the reservation, turn and cut from the setting sun to the rising sun and the trees will last forever. The Menominee Tribe has inhabited Northeast Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula for generations, where ancestral tribal lands encompassed over 10 million acres.
Following several treaties and land cessions, in 1854 the Menominee people were confined to their current Reservation lands, totaling 235,000 acres. Initially, the small Keshena Falls sawmill manufactured lumber, shingles and other products primarily to supply the needs of the Reservation.

MTE Wood has been a leading lumber supplier in Northern Wisconsin for generations. Cut stock is available on a consistent basis throughout the year, with an average width of 7 to 7.5 inches and on a random length basis - MTE's wood species mix includes: Eastern White Pine, Eastern Hemlock, Hard Maple, Yellow Birch, American Beech, Northern Red Oak, and American Basswood.
Particle Board - improving aesthetics for OSB, MDF and other engineered wood manufacturing. As our foresters work, MTE scalers pull out potential veneer logs for buyers to choose from, giving our clients the ability to get the exact wood they want. Your veneer log grader will have ample opportunity to evaluate pith centering, growth ring consistency, wood color and density.
Chips: Wood chips from MTE can be used for a wide variety of purposes, from landscaping material to wood fuel. Wood chips are available to meet any specifications required. Bark: fibers from tree bark can be used to make cork, canoes, basket materials, and even healthcare applications. Sawdust: Sawdust is often used by loggers to provide traction on compacted snow, and is excellent at absorbing liquid spills.
In keeping with traditions of full utilization of harvested material, inferior timber falling short of the cut for quality lumber finds its own purpose as well. Pulpwood is often used for paper but can serve as the raw material for oriented strand board (OSB) or particle board. Our long term business plans call for the development of a log sorting and whole log chipping facility to be located in Neopit, Wisconsin.
Kiln dried wood from MTE is less likely to distort, stain or warp due to the evaporation of moisture in the wood. Insects are also killed during the drying process. In order for pallet wood to be shipped internationally, kiln drying or heat treating is often required. MTE offers kiln dried wood for use in pallets and any other wood material applications.
