Logs Meet Their Purpose
Portable Sawmill Services
Our portable sawmill services bring professional lumber milling directly to your property in Lower Michigan. We mill logs into rough sawn lumber, live edge slabs, and custom beams for building projects, woodworking, and specialty pieces. Whether you’re using trees from your land or reclaiming fallen timber, on-site milling allows you to turn logs into usable lumber without transporting them to a commercial mill.
🪵 Rough Sawn Lumber
Fresh-cut boards milled from your logs and left in their natural state. Strong, full-thickness lumber ready for solid, practical builds.
Common Uses: Barns • Sheds • Fencing • Framing
Pricing: Usually the most cost-effective option. Cost depends on log size, species, and milling time.
🌳 Live Edge Slabs
Specialty slabs that keep the natural edge of the tree, showing off the wood’s grain and shape. Each piece is unique.
Common Uses: Tables • Countertops • Desks • Shelves • Mantels
Pricing: Priced per slab based on size, thickness, and wood type.
🟫 Custom Cuts & Beams
Milling for projects that need specific sizes or large pieces like beams, posts, and mantels.
Common Uses: Timber frames • Pergolas • Porch beams • Structural accents
Pricing: Usually the most cost-effective option. Cost depends on log size, species, and milling time.
How Pricing Works
Portable sawmilling is priced based on time, log size, and the type of cuts requested. Every project is different, so we discuss details ahead of time to make sure expectations are clear.
Most on-site milling projects start at $200, which covers travel, setup, and initial milling time. Larger logs, specialty cuts, or longer milling time will increase the total cost.
Additional Costs:
Logs sometimes contain hidden metal such as nails, fencing, or spikes. If a blade is damaged, a replacement fee of $35.00 may apply.
