Meet the Sawman

Owner and sawmill

Hi, I’m Steve Neil, owner and operator of Sawman.

I grew up working outdoors on a small farm, where I learned the value of hard, honest work and the satisfaction of a job done right. My professional background is in mechanical engineering, where I’ve spent years solving problems and working with precision. Those same skills now guide my work running a portable sawmill service.

Woodworking has long been a personal passion of mine. Over time, building furniture led me to sawmilling after I had logs from the farm milled into lumber. Seeing the character hidden inside each tree made a lasting impression. Because of that experience, I developed a strong interest in helping others turn their logs into usable, meaningful lumber.

Today, I operate a portable sawmill serving property owners who want to make the most of their trees. Whether you’re milling logs for a project, a building, or a keepsake, I work carefully to produce quality lumber while respecting the value of your timber.

When you work with me, you can expect clear communication, careful attention to detail, and someone who treats your logs with the same care I would my own.

I look forward to working with you!
