I have been building a database of sawmills and put it together as a Sawmill Locater where you can search by state to find sawmills that provide custom cutting services and sell specialty lumber. Locate a mill near you or many will ship lumber if you find they have access to exotic or hard to find species you might be interested in. Please follow this link to search by state: http://portablesawmill.biz/concrete
Hello and thanks for all the welcoming. I’m new to this site. I have not posted any thing but it won’t be long. Right now I am in the process of building a sawmill and I’m almost done. I live in a heavily wooded area and after hurricane Ike we had a lot of trees down. Also people around here are clearing their lots to build new homes so that is what prompted me to build a sawmill. I will be able to get lots of free wood. Well not all free but close enough. It has been a blast to b...
This web site Talarico Hardwoods was on an e-mail that I got today. It’s a sawmill in Pennsylvania. Enjoy and drool.
But I thought I would take the time to show a couple pictures. I got a call from a buddy of mine who takes care of a local cemetery asking if I wanted an ugly log they had been pushing around in the mud for a month doing an expansion. I asked what is it. He said “It’s just an old elm, but it has alot of forks like you like (crotches) and bumps all over it that look like big strawberries with twigs growing out of them (burls)” So maybe my buddies don’t know the terminol...
I like crotches. I like milling them, I like making things with them. Some one dropped off this “crotchy” elm the other day. The butt log is kinda a big devil. So I cut one off to mill. I was a little bummed because I see 2 hearts, which usually means less figure/ more bark inclusion… I had to trim it abit to get it to fit the mill for width (more on that later) First slab looks decent. 28” wide…not bad for a bandmill that is advertise...
I showed a pile of walnut logs in my last blog. Now I will show the pile of lumber that came from it. This is the FAS pile. I have another pile that is lower grade. There is 750 bft of just gorgeous lumber here, almost “perfect”. 8”-12” wide and 8’-10’ long boards. I grade sawed all this out. I am not exaggerating when I say if I cut all the “defect” (any small knots or sapwood) out of this whole pile it would all fit in a 5 gallon bucket !!
I opened up a pretty large mulberry today and knew on the first cut this was going to be interesting. So I cut a little deeper. Flipped it over…and urban logging strikes again. 2 screws, oh well there was plenty of good lumber under them. Yea those are 21” wide mulberry boards with figure. Kinda weird birdeye/burl clusters, pretty. Mulberry is very pretty anyway. It darkens to the color of aged black cherry as it dries. It is much more attractive dry. Not a bad sta...
SAW BUCKS: TAKING THE BULL BY THE HORNS The First and Only Sawmill Forum to Put Sawyers in the Drivers Seat At last there’s a new forum out there that’s geared up for sawmill operators and it looks like “Saw Bucks” is just what the doctor ordered. Focused on sawmills and all aspects of the trade, Sawyers take the lead instead of being a secondary topic section like other sites where milling is not the main stream content but just a spin off. After seeing how each section add...
You might be asking what is #391. It was referred to in You know you are a LumberJock by Yorkshire Stewart and it was item #391 The blog is here It was a Cherry Burl Log that was dropped off at my house. Today I went to a sawmill to get it cut up. All loaded in the back of the van. Sitting on the mill. The first piece cut off. A couple of cuts later. And a little later. At home. and another. Close Up of a piece. Stacked on the sawhorse. The pile ...
Across North America, small sawmill operators continue to grow in size. Larger mills are suffering from the current slump in the housing market and instead of increasing production as in the recent past they are cutting back affecting the industry as a whole. Timber demand and harvesting has dropped creating opportunities for the expansion of the smaller portable sawmill operations. These mills, most of which are new small business start ups grown of woodworkers and tradesmen are growing at s...
