Sickler Industries, formerly known as both Keweenaw
Specialty Woods and Mohawk Sand & Gravel, is
located in the town of Mohawk – in the heart of
Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. Family owned and operated
by Brian “Bunga” Sickler since 1984, the business is
comprised of Michigan’s northernmost sawmill operation
and a seasonal aggregates division.
The Copper Country is renown for an abundance of
deciduous and coniferous timber stands and is the
primary source of our hard and softwood products (oak,
maple, cedar, etc.). In addition, we do offer our
customers access to non-native wood species when
requested. Sickler Industries specializes in
T&G
flooring, end-matched paneling and the manufacture of
custom moundings and millwork. We also make custom
live
edge furniture and sell live edge slabs through our
sales office and on our website. Sickler customers
appreciate our three decades of expertise, friendly
customer service and high quality wood products.
Sickler Industries is proud to operate a zero
waste mill.
Every part of sawn logs and machined wood at our mill
gets used. No part is wasted. Bi-products such as wood
ends and trim pieces are ground into chips. These
grindings, along with sawdust, shavings and bark
comprise about 4% of all wood processed and is used as a
fuel source to heat our dehumidification kiln
year-round.
Approximately 2% of logs are cut and chipped into cedar
mulch. Cedar mulch is available for sale to landscapers
and homeowners at our local material pit. The balance of
wood used at the sawmill is either rough cut (live edge
slabs and unfinished lumber) or milled wood (mouldings,
flooring, etc.) that is contract manufactured for our
customers and offered for sale through our front office.
We also employ best practices in our millwork shop to
reduce material waste by properly maintaining and
calibrating our equipment.
Sickler Industries is a member of the National Wood
Flooring Association (NWFA), the National Frame Building
Association (NFBA), the Home Builders Association of the
Upper Peninsula (HBA) the Keweenaw Economic Development
Alliance (KEDA).
Sickler Industries proudly ships millwork made in the
Keweenaw all across Upper Michigan and throughout the
United States. We encourage you to contact our sales
office for more information about our products and
services.
