Good straight logs make wonderful lumber for fences, barns, sheds, decks, cabins, furniture and other wood working projects. Bring your logs to our sawmill. Turn your otherwise wasted trees into good dimensional lumber.

A sawmill's basic operation is much like those of 100 years ago; a log enters on one end and dimensional lumber exits on the other end.

• Logs are taken by truck, rail or river to the sawmill.
• Logs are scaled upon arrival at the mill.
• Decking is the process for sorting the logs by species, size and end use (lumber, plywood, chips).
• Debarking removes bark from the logs.
• The head saw, head rig or primary saw, breaks the log into cants (unfinished planks) with a smooth edge.
• Edging will take the cant and trim off all irregular edges leaving four-sided lumber.
• Trimming squares the ends at typical lumber lengths.
• Drying removes naturally occurring moisture from the lumber. This can be done with kilns or air-dried.
• Planing smoothes the surface of the lumber leaving a uniform width and thickness.
