In 1897, Chester A. Walker and his brother, W.D., opened their first lumber operation in Bogg's Township, Centre County, PA. There was a lumber boom in Pennsylvania at the time and the two brothers seized this opportunity. The two moved around the region, until finally settling near Bigler, PA, where C.A. Walker Lumber & Supply grew and prospered. After Chester's death in 1972, his son Ray took over the mill. Many changes occurred in 1975 including the construction of a new sawmill with increased capacity from 6000 board feet per day to 30,000 per day. In 1983, the mill saw the addition of Irvington Moore Dry Kilns and Warehouse and a saw dust fire boiler
In 2012, Nick Ince purchased the Woodland Facility and the business continued to grow. Two new kilns and a new biomass steam system were addeded together with the new warehousing and storage facilities. A concentration yard was added in Hollidaysburg to compliment the Woodland operation, and then a small distribution and speciality business was added in Pittsburgh.
