Pyramid Lumber in Seeley Lake Runs Last Log Through Sawmill Tuesday Afternoon

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Crews pushed the last log of Pyramid Lumber through the sawmill Tuesday afternoon as the company winds down operations. 

Rising industry costs and a lack of employee housing contributed to the closing of the mill, Wendy Dalrymple, controller at Pyramid Mountain Lumber said in a press release. 

According to general manager Todd Johnson, the last unit of finished lumber through the planer department will be in early August, with the last load of lumber shipped out of Seeley Lake in late September.

The company has been family-owned and operated since 1949, and for a little while longer. is the oldest surviving lumber mill of its kind in Montana.
