Bringing custom sawing to your front door...
Tim brings the mill to your site and mills your lumber according to your specified dimensions. The green lumber should be stickered (separated using narrow wood strips) and stacked for optimal air flow and dry time. Tim will instruct you on how to preserve your lumber so that it does not develop mold before you intend to use it.
Pricing and Fees
Our Sawmill service is usually based on an hourly rate. Depending on log size, we can usually saw 1,000 to 1,200 board feet of lumber in a day. A $30.00 blade charge is applied anytime a saw blade is ruined by hitting metal or any foreign object in a log (e.g. nails, screws, and wire). If the blade can be sharpened, a $20.00 sharpening fee will be charged.
Dirty logs; if logs are exceptionally dirty, you may be responsible for a blade sharpening charge of $20.00 per blade.
For travel distances over 50 miles, a onetime setup fee may apply, depending of the quantity of logs to be sawn.
Log/Lumber Yield
A board foot is defined as being 1” thick, 12” wide, 12” long or 144 cubic inches of wood. So a board 1” thick by 12” wide by 8’ long contains 8 board feet. A standard 2x4-8’stud contains 5.3 board feet.

When you hire Tim to mill your lumber, he works with you to make sure you get the right log lengths to produce the desired finished product. If you plan to make flooring or other materials that require post-milling process work such as kiln drying or surfacing, Tim will explain what needs to happen at each stage and provide you with contact information for the appropriate service providers.
