Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott travels to Demopolis, Alabama to visit Two Rivers Lumber Company. Two Rivers Lumber Co. was conceived directly in response to the need loggers in the area have had for more outlets for their small sawlogs. Named for its proximity to the Tombigbee and Black Warrior rivers, Two Rivers Lumber is a state-of-the-art southern yellow pine dimension sawmill that has a production capacity of 200 million board feet per year, making it one of the larger mills in the Southeast. As various market factors shuttered a number of mills in the area, some loggers were left without enough mills to consume their products. Rather than cry about it or wait for someone else to address the problem, one group of forward-thinking individuals decided to take action. If they didn’t have a mill, they’d build their own.
