Wood You'd Never Buy at a Store

Custom hardwood lumber in retail markets often costs $4–10+ per board foot. We mill from your logs, keeping the premium wood in your hands at a fraction of commercial prices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about on-site sawmilling in Virginia.

Do you require a one-day minimum?

Yes, we operate on a one-day minimum. This allows time for setup, milling operations, and cleanup on your Virginia property.

What space do you need to set up the mill?

We need a flat, level area large enough for the portable sawmill and log staging. A space roughly 30 × 40 feet works for most jobs. We'll inspect your site during the estimate.

What happens if logs have metal or nails embedded?

We use metal detectors to scan logs before milling. If metal is found and damages a blade, you'll be charged for blade replacement. This protects our equipment and ensures clean cuts.

Should I seal the ends of my logs before you arrive?

Yes. Seal log ends with end-seal product or paint as soon as possible after felling. This prevents checking and cracking, improving yield and lumber quality.

Can you air-dry the lumber on my property?

We set up fresh-milled boards for air drying. With proper stickers and ventilation, Virginia's humidity allows steady drying. Kiln drying is available for faster results.

What wood types do you typically mill in Virginia?

Oak, walnut, hickory, maple, and various hardwoods grow throughout Virginia. We mill whatever logs you have. Softwoods like pine and cedar are also common.
