Our Wood Services

We convert logs to lumber either at your location or ours. All of our work is completed on site starting from the fallen tree. The sawmill is pulled to the job site and quickly set up. Our service is low impact, quick and efficient. When we are finished you are left a cleaned area and with a load of neatly stacked, drying lumber. Due to Covid 19 safety concerns we are not offering onsite sawing at this time! All sawing work will be completed at our shop in Mankato, MN. In a typical day we can cut 1200 square feet (board feet) of lumber or more; the exact production varies by species of the wood, size of the logs, and amount of owner help. We can also advise you how to get the most of the logs and trees you have.

New to the process? No problem; check out our Custom sawing page for an easy start. Want to know what is will cost? Check out our pricebook.

Our What To Expect page is a good place to start. We also have a Frequently Asked Questions page to help you to better understand the process. Sizing your job will help to give you a rough estimate of how much wood you'll get from your trees and how long it will take to mill the logs to lumber.

Need to know how to dry lumber? We offer a kiln drying system as an option for drying your lumber. At an additional cost your hardwood lumber can be dried in a matter of days! Kiln drying your lumber is the best way to get the most out of the your hardwood lumber with the least amount of effort and space. Usually within a week of cutting your logs you can have properly dried lumber that you can use. Visit our kiln drying system page for more information.

Our vacuum kilns can dry an amazing variety of species and sizes. We often dry both thick wood slabs and dimensional lumber.

Some of our customers choose to air dry their wood. This is the slowest but least costly way of drying the hardwood lumber before it is used. Drying Your Lumber shows you the best way to air dry your own hardwood lumber.
