How it works: Custom milling sized to your specifications or material list. Beams, boards and slabs can be sawn . The sawmill is a horizontal bandsaw type with high production capability. The thin kerf blade extracts more lumber from your logs and less sawdust waste. Hydraulic log handling and loading means that logs up to 36 inch diameter and 20 feet long can be rolled onto the loading arms and easily loaded onto the mill bed, positioned and sawn. All finished lumber is stacked and stickered onsite for proper drying (see attached figure).

Sawmill rate is $125 hr plus a travel fee of one dollar per mile from Point Arena, (located on the Mendocino Coast). Includes me and a helper to assist. Overnight accommodation varies at each milling site. We will travel most anywhere in the western US to process your log deck. Contact Craig to discuss your logs and schedule your milling days (email is best if I am in the field). Average daily production is over 2000 board feet per day… We can buck and skid logs if necessary for smaller jobs. Large land owners should have their timber felled and decked before bringing in the sawmill for maximum production.
