ABOUT WESTERN CORE
Leaders as a Stave Core
Manufacturer Since 1973
Building For The Best
Western Core is a leading stave core manufacturer and supplier in the United States, consistently innovating to maintain our position at the forefront of the industry. Our state-of-the-art stave core drying process ensures optimal moisture content, surpassing industry and building standards. By kiln drying the core after gluing to achieve a moisture content of 6% to 10%, we have successfully eliminated common issues such as warping and telegraphing that were prevalent in the ’90s and early 2000s. In response to market demands, we have expanded our product offerings to include laminated veneer lumber (LVL), broadening our capabilities to cater to diverse customer needs.
SINCE 1973
Western Core has stood as the industry leading stave core manufacturer. We craft our lumber core using domestically sourced materials in the United States, catering to the diverse needs of tabletops, desk & work surfaces, and shelving.

Western Core Standards

We’re committed to excellence in the stave core construction process too. Our lumber is dried in a kiln to reach the right moisture level, meeting strict building standards. Plus, we use a high-quality waterproof glue that fits with the LEED rating system, making our products great for eco-friendly building projects. Everything we offer is cut precisely and ready to assemble, saving you time and money on labor.
Strength, Stability, and Design Flexibility
LVL offers unparalleled design flexibility in various sizes and is easily customizable for architects and engineers to achieve precise, desired designs. Our Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) excels in strength and stability thanks to the meticulous orientation of each veneer layer. This construction mitigates inherent weaknesses in solid lumber, ensuring minimal shrinkage, warping, or twisting.
