Wood Lumber: About Us

The History of Wood Lumber Company

In 1912, Joseph B. Miskell came to Falmouth from New Bedford to open a branch for the Green and Wood Lumber Company. In 1926, The Wood Lumber Company was incorporated and the Miskell family (brothers Joseph and James) became stockholders.

Joseph Miskell continued to manage the business until his death in 1957. At that time, Joseph (Bud) B. Miskell, Jr. took over management of the company. His son and daughter-in-law, Dana and Eileen Miskell came to Falmouth in 1986 to manage the business.

Dana represents the third generation of the Miskell family to own and manage Wood Lumber.
After a career in the computer industry, Dana returned to Falmouth and Wood Lumber in 1986.
He oversees the buying of all the lumber, roofing and millwork.
With an eye toward quality products, Dana has maintained the standards required of our custom
home builders and their customers. A graduate of Dartmouth College, Dana enjoys the variety and challenges in running a building materials dealer.

Eileen Miskell is a graduate of Boston College and has an MBA from Boston University. She primarily spends her time on the financial responsibilities of running Wood Lumber, but also spends time in the showroom.
