How log milling works
Log milling turns raw logs into boards, beams, or slabs. The best results come from clean, straight logs and a clear cut plan before the mill arrives. For standard jobs, a portable bandmill is usually the right tool. The Wood-Mizer Find a Local Sawyer directory can help you compare providers. We focus on oversized logs that need wide slab cuts.
Log prep tips before you call any mill
Kiln load policy for large batches
We run large kiln loads only (2000 bd/ft or more). Lumber must air-dry under cover for a few months before it enters the kiln. This reduces checking, internal stress, and long cycle times. Wet wood ties up the kiln longer, raises energy use, and is accepted only at a premium when schedules allow.
