Sawn log ends showing growth rings and flat cut faces

Cut to grade.Cut to size.

Excavation and custom sawing in New Sharon, Maine. I clear the lot, then I mill what came off it.

What makes this different

The trees that come off your lot can go back on it

Clearing a house site makes logs. Building on that site takes lumber. Most places that is two companies and a truck ride in between — your logs leave cheap and your lumber comes back expensive. I do both ends, out of one dooryard.

01

Clear the lot

Trees down, stumps out, site cut to grade. The sawlogs get sorted and skidded to a landing instead of pushed into the brush pile.

02

Saw what came off it

The mill sets up on the landing. Your logs, your lumber, cut to the list you actually need rather than the lengths a yard happens to stock.

03

Stack it to dry

Stacked flat, off the ground, stickers between the courses so it dries straight instead of twisting. Then it is yours.

That is the whole idea, and it is the reason both halves are on the same sign. Everything else here is one or the other.

Ground

House pads, driveways, drainage, clearing, stone work, storm cleanup, and plowing once it turns.

The mill travels

Your place or mine

Bring me your logs, or I will bring the mill to them. Either way you keep the lumber — you are paying for the sawing, not for the wood.
