Western Core Company has redefined stave core construction since 1973. We’re a leader in stave core door construction, as well as windows, furniture, and more. We also recently expanded our offerings to include laminated veneer lumber (LVL).
Based in Payette, Idaho, we’ve spent more than 40 years learning about the forest products industry and honing our stave core construction and manufacturing process. With a focus on speed, quality, and sustainable manufacturing, we’re ready and able to handle any project or request that comes our way.
Western Core has been in the stave core business for over 40 years. Started by Larry Lancaster in the 1970s and then run by his son Rick Lancaster for many years, we’re proud of our family-owned history and decades of success.
Our stave core is used by some of the largest manufacturers of doors, windows, and wood products in the United States, including Haley Bros, VT Industries, and Hardwoods Specialty Products. We’re honored that many of our customers have supported us through the years, trusting our team to provide the highest quality stave lumber core and laminated veneer lumber.
Since Anthony Bushong took over in 2022, we’ve continued our mission of high-quality stave core door construction with an eye on growth and technology to serve our customers better.
Our decades of experience in the forest products industry and years spent honing our stave core construction process means we’re able to provide a better stave core product, quick turnaround times, and ongoing support to customers like you.
While many companies use scrap, our stave core is made from high-quality ponderosa pine, douglas fir, and white fir wood. We then take the time to properly glue, press, and dry the core, with our expert team inspecting for quality every step of the way.
Ultimately, this stave core door construction process result is a high-quality core that resist warping and is manufactured to meet customers’ delivery and production specifications.
Western Core manufactures stave core that is cost-effective for your company. Stave core is lighter than some other core options like particle board, saving you on shipping and labor costs, making it a great option for many projects.
Plus, we work with you to meet your project timelines, minimizing costly delays or downtime. We want to provide not only a high-quality product but also one that is affordable and customized to your needs.
