Custom log milling.
Bring us your logs and we'll saw them into the lumber, beams or slabs you need. Here's the pricing, how drop-off works, and a cut list you can fill out before you come.
Two ways to price a milling job.
Board foot pricing
Best for straightforward milling and standard cut plans.
Final price depends on species, log condition, size and complexity.
Custom time pricing
Best for highly customized projects, specialty cuts or low volume jobs.
$300 minimum. Billed in quarter-hour increments after that.
Additional services
Stacking & stickering
$0.35 per board foot. Includes a stickered stack for air drying.
Kiln drying
$0.65 per board foot per week. 3 week maximum standard cycle. Moisture content not guaranteed. Species and thickness may affect results.
Blade cost recovery
$50 per blade. Customer is responsible for any blade damage. Nails, fence wire and old hardware are common in yard trees.
Policies
Log condition
Logs full of mud, dirt, rocks or debris will not be milled. They get assessed and may be refused or charged a cleaning fee before milling.
Equipment protection
We reserve the right to not mill any log we feel could damage our equipment.
Natural material
Wood is a natural product. Yield, appearance and movement cannot be guaranteed. We do our best to maximize usable material.
Storage
Finished material must be picked up within 14 days (green) or 7 days (kiln dried). Storage fees apply after that.
How drop-off works.
Book a time
Pick a drop-off time so the crew is ready to unload, or call or text 970-440-1491. Logs need to be at least 8 ft long to clamp on the mill.
Book your drop-offWe tag every log
Each log end gets painted with your initials and a number, like MA-1 MA-2. That code follows your wood through the mill.
Photos and measurements
We photograph each tagged log and record species, diameter and length. Board footage is figured on the International 1/4" scale.
Walk through your cut list
We go over what you want from each log, then you sign the intake form.
Fill this in before you come.
Fill in one box per log. Send it and we'll have it in front of us when you pull in. You can also copy it and text it to 970-440-1491.
Milling is part nature, part science, and part blind luck with a chainsaw.
