Finding a Sawmill Service near you

nothing yet in Texas.. or Oklahoma or Louisiana… I’ll be keeping an eye out for one of those. Thanks for the post.

Rob, There are a couple LJ’s that operate in Texas and they haven’t posted yet. I hate to harp on them but hope they post soon because your not the first to check there.

Great service. Thank you.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

Your site is a great idea Ron. But in case someone can’t find a mill there, they can try these guys out.

Thanks Ron. I found one sawyer for Kentucky.

I wish I had something like this earlier. Two years ago I had to have a cherry and two ash trees removed. The cherry was about 3 feet in diameter (4’ from the ground) and one of the ash trees was at least that size. They all went into firewood because I couldn’t find anyone to saw them up.

Thanks for the post.

I just weeped a little, what a shame.

Daren,

So did I. That one really hurt. I couldn’t watch them do it and was glad when they had the cherry down by the time I got home from work.

But I didn’t have a clue what a chain saw mill was at the time or I might have tried that. But that is one monster of a bar that is on the ones I have seen. I am not sure I would be comfortable swinging something like that.

I have only cut one small cherry burl and had wet dreams for several days afterwards. As of today I am still looking to connect customers with mills in Kansas and Washington DC if anyone knows someone with mill there.

I can get some Ontario listings (We’re the province with the hardwood)

Lotsa locals here in south/central Ontario. I may have to give them internet tutelage though.

Matter,

I have a Canada section so please let your friends know. I just had a request from a sawyer to post his business and expect to have plenty more soon.

I now have another customer looking for a mill in Colorado….

Ya know anybody around Chico Ron? People burn up walnut like crazy around here. I have been thinking about having a Walnut tree milled.

Scott,

I go all around the State and Oregon also. I will make the drive if there is enough work to cover my expenses or sometimes I try to combine jobs near each other to bring the cost down. I have had customers get together with several friends to combine their spending power also. Walnut is my favorite of all wood to mill. Let me know more about what you have in mind and the quantity you have and we can see about making a plan.

When we had that big storm last winter there were logs around town that had signs on them “Free”. Im talking big black walnut trees of the Hindsii variety. I think I still know where there are a couple. There is tons of Black walnut around here. I am sure I can find something. I was just talking to a friend the other day at the hardwood store. He was talking to the operator and asking for her to look out for a couple of hundred Bd Ft of Walnut. I have a big barn up in Dairyville and could likely store it there. I’ll PM you when I get a good lead and hopefully some more guys to go in.

Thanks

Great, I can’t help but to get excited about milling more walnut. Like I said its my favorite

Ron – This is great – the day you posted this I had a friend forward an email form his mom who lives in Cloverdale – she’s intersted in having a tree milled. He thought I might be able to help – I’ll forward her your link! Thanks!

Sounds like you may even be willing to head out to Cloverdale? How far away is that form you? 2 to 2 1/2 hours? Totally guessing…

Dorge, Not sure about the travel time, will need to check. I would go anywhere if I can justify the expence.
