Baton Rouge Hardwood

[Charlie Ross]

Hey All,
My post for my DC worked so well I thought I’d try another, THANKS!!!
I’ve started getting back in my shop again and heard my wood supplier (Hogan Hardwoods) is out of business. I tried to call, and their web site is out, so I’m thinking it’s true. Now I’m without a supplier for rough or S2S... lumber in the area. I’m wondering if there are any Redstick-Creekers that may be able to help me with good suppliers in the Baton Rouge area.

Acadian Cypress in Ponchatoula carries hardwood. You can buy it rough or planed. I get maple, cherry, walnut and cypress from them.

Service Lumber and Supply sells hardwoods. They're behind Cortana mall near Choctaw, I think the street name is Oak Villa? Anyway if you google them, you might get hits on their old address right off Airline Hwy, but they're not at that address any more. As far as I know they're the only remaining hardwood supplier in town. Hogan supposedly still operates a warehouse in Lafayette, but I don't know if it's as big as the one in Baton Rouge that's defunct now. I can confirm it's defunct because I drove out there and looked around. Looks like Baghdad in that part of town.

Yeah Hogan went down fast! If your familiar with Tom C. he and most of the crew went to Brazzo's Forest Products 225-271-3560. I think Toms the Gm. We've been ordering a lot from them and they seem to be doing well.

Hate to hear about Hogan. Any details?

I was at PMC Machinery's big sale event in Hammond this morning, and there was a rep from Acadian Hardwoods in Ponchatoula (mentioned previously). He said that Acadian had acquired Hogan Hardwoods, which went bankrupt. He also said that they intended to reopen the Baton Rouge location, but I didn't press him for details.

Yeah, I heard from our sale person Acadian bought a couple of the Hogan Yards. I think Baton Rouge was one.
This seems to be the way of growth for the lumber companies down here. From what I remember, It started with Paxton acquiring J T Shannon , then Paxton by Hogan, Then Hogan By Acadian..........NEXT!!!!!
