- Rough-sawn hardwood boards

- Oak, maple, cherry and ash as the logs come in. Ask us what each board is and how dry it is.
- Live-edge slabs
- $60 to $380 each
- The bark edge left on, priced on a tag by length and width. Good for a bench, a shelf or a table top.
- Firewood ends
- $45 a pickup load
- Short ends and offcuts from the saw. You load, we take payment at the office.

A board foot, in plain words
How we measure a board.
Lumber is priced by the board foot: a piece 12 inches long, 12 inches wide and 1 inch thick. An 8-foot pine board, 6 inches wide and 1 inch thick, is 4 board feet, so $9.60.
We measure each board with you at the office before you pay.
A custom-cut order, in plain words
How an order goes
Tell us about the logs
How many, roughly how long and how wide, and what you would like sawn: boards, beams or slabs. Say if a tree grew in a yard or by a fence; those often hide nails.
Bring them on a yard day
We agree on a time, Tuesday to Saturday. Back your trailer in and our loader takes the logs off. Storage is free for 30 days.
We saw them on a milling day
We call when your logs are cut. Boards are stacked with spacers between them, ready for your trailer. Pick them up within two weeks.
Questions before you bring logs
Can you tell me how dry a board is?
Ask us what each board is and how dry it is when you come. We tell you when it was sawn and how long it has sat on stickers in the yard.
What if my log has a nail in it?
Tell us if the tree grew in a yard or along a fence. We look each log over before it goes on the carriage, but some metal hides. If the blade hits it, a new blade is $35.
How big a log is worth sawing?
Logs at least 8 inches across at the small end and 8 to 16 feet long. Smaller pieces make good firewood, and we can take them off your hands on a milling day.
Do you deliver lumber?
No. Bring a truck or a trailer and we load it with the loader. Slabs and stacks are strapped before you leave.
Can I watch my logs being cut?
Yes, on a customer milling day. You stand at the rail by the shed and we talk through each cut with you.
Have a slab in mind?
Tell us the size and what it is for, and we tag a few for you to look at.
