He added that with a brand of this magnitude, and the companies that stand behind it, there is plenty to admire, from the amazing level of technical support to the breadth of products.

Black Label lumber products are in stock now at Ganahl Lumber. Other products including branded fasteners will arrive over the next few months, including professional-grade accessories for building and maintaining decks, cladding, and other wood products.

Black Label will be marketed with the dealer, homeowner, and architect in mind, the company said.
