About Our Sawmill
Our mobile sawmill is a Woodmizer LT-50 wide head. It can handle up to ~42" diameter logs, with a maximum cut width of 34" and length of 20'6". The mill is fully hydraulic and Accuset2 controls help to maximize yield from your logs.
All saw milling is 100% customized to your specifications. Rates by the board foot apply to ALL sawn product, including boards with defect (cracks/warp/rot). Good logs make good boards — logs are highly variable and we will do our best to advise which logs are "worth" milling. Hourly rates are sometimes applied for lower grade logs.
Jobs of less than 1,000 bdft will be quoted lump sum. For very small jobs, the most cost effective solution is to bring the logs to us (i.e. a trailer load or less).
Kiln Drying
Our kiln is housed in a 24' reefer shipping container. At the heart is a Woodmizer KD250, complete with moisture probes, humidity control, automated vents, and auxiliary heater to achieve a 160°F pitch set. Min and max capacity is 800 bdft and 2,000 bdft, respectively. Max board length of 22'.
As drying times can vary based on species and board thickness, drying service costs may vary. We will estimate a fixed lump sum for the load of wood based on the expected duration.
Kiln Drying Rates
- $0.70/bdft ~1,000 bdft
- $0.60/bdft ~2,000 bdft
Prices above are based on 1" thick softwood. Price increases with thickness and wood hardness, as the required drying time substantially increases.
As wood is varied and sometimes unpredictable, we cannot guarantee or warranty the product. We will, however, strive to produce the best possible product.
