About the Project

The result: a warm, inviting design that pairs perfectly with brick and stone.

Materials Used

Project Highlights

  • Patio Ceiling: Cedar tongue & groove adds warmth and richness against the brick and stone finishes.
  • Carport Ceiling: Enhances curb appeal with a clean, natural look.
  • Outdoor Fireplace Area: The cedar ceiling creates a cozy, elegant atmosphere around the stone

Customer Feedback

“I was very leery buying from FB Marketplace but took the leap and so thankful I did. I was building a new home and needed 2500 sqft tongue and groove ceiling for porches. Everyone said to go pine because cedar would be out of our price range due to the size of sqft we needed. I got on FB Marketplace and found Mountain Milling Co FB ads for cedar and wow it was beautiful. I took the leap and feel it was one of the best decisions I did for our build. Months later after installation it’s still one of the most favorite parts of my new home. Absolutely beautiful wood and smells amazing!!!! They worked with me on pricing and shipping so I could afford cedar for my project!!! If I could share pics I would. The project turned out gorgeous!!! I’d give them 5 ⭐️ hands down.”

About the Project

Completed in 2023, Jimmy and Mary Gordon’s carport project in Owasso, Oklahoma is a standout example of how functional design can also deliver lasting beauty. The structure features ¾-inch Eastern Red Cedar Tongue & Groove panels, creating a seamless, polished ceiling that enhances both form and function.

To protect and enrich the wood’s natural character, the project was finished with TimberPro UV Madrone Stain, offering a warm, luxurious tone and long-term durability against sun, rain, and seasonal weather.

About the Project

In 2023, Tom Sumter transformed his Bull Shoals backyard into a one-of-a-kind outdoor retreat using a mix of rough cut Eastern Red Cedar and live edge first cuts. Anchored by sturdy 6×6 cedar posts, the custom-built structure celebrates raw, organic design while delivering durability and visual impact.

The standout feature is the use of live edge cedar slabs, which bring an earthy, artistic flair to the space. These natural contours blur the boundary between landscape and structure, allowing the environment to feel fully integrated with the build.

Every element—from the hand-selected first cuts to the thoughtfully placed framing—reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and a deep appreciation for natural materials. The result is a warm, inviting space perfect for relaxing, gathering, and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors in Arkansas.

The use of live edge slabs not only enhances the visual appeal but also integrates the landscape into the structure, blurring the lines between man-made and natural. The thoughtful arrangement and meticulous craftsmanship make this backyard a true retreat, ideal for relaxation and entertainment. The wooden elements are beautifully showcased, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that enhances the outdoor living experience. This oasis stands as a testament to skillful design and a deep appreciation for nature’s aesthetics.

Project used live edge slabs, 6” x 6” posts, a variety of rough cut lumber, and first cuts.
