Hoffman Lumber Work
The Hoffman family migrated from Germany to the East of Dallas Texas in the 1909. They settled on the western side of the area . The first two generations were builders and carpenters. By the 1920’s, there was an ever increasing need for lumber for building and the family started a local sawmill. The next two generations operated it as a portable sawmill, using horses in the woods to skid logs, and a steam boiler and steam engine to run the sawmill. The steam facility was finally made permanent in 1930 by E.L. Hoffman. It was operated there until 1974, and was the last steam driven commercial sawmill in Texas.
Ivan N. Hoffman operated two portable sawmills in addition to the steam mill until 1969. The portable mills were moved from logging site to logging site, because it was easier to bring the sawmill to the forest rather than bring the logs to the sawmill. Today, the reverse is more economical. In 1977 the family started construction of a new building and sawmill plant. A new electrically driven sawmill was put into operation in July 1979. The new mill has a capacity of over 500,000 board feet per year. In 1981 a second building was erected, which houses a modern flooring and planing shop and is dedicated to warehousing kiln dried lumber and associated flooring products. In 1996 a 3000 board foot Nyle dehumidification kiln was installed and brought online. The kiln dries approximately 75,000 board feet of mixed species annually.
The sawmill has developed into a lucrative construction company that build logs homes and tree houses for real estate and domestic asset. Whatever log home or Tree house design you need would be done perfectly and nicely to your choice.
The Hoffman family today represents eight generations to have lived on the same piece of property. Gabriel is the current generation running the sawmill and it construction works.
