I have a small sawmill and do personal milling. the service I offer is simple if your tree is something I desire and you have a log to get rid of contact me. I have a few rules. I am in mid 60s and don't take every job offered. I am retired and do this because it is what I have done my entire life. I have a trailer that picks the logs up but I have to have access to the tree with truck and trailer.
I CHARGE FOR PICK UP AND REMOVEAL OF LOG,
I don't do BACK YARD trees.
I don't do tree service work.
I don't do free tree work.
I dont go more than 30 miles travel.
30 miles is maximum distance.
NOTHING PAST 30 MILES.
If your trying to sell your log. try big mills or log buyers.
I don't need to buy logs.
I'M DOING A SERVICE to the home or land owner for charging fair affordable prices to remove a log left behind by tree service or blown over in a storm.
I get sad stories every week about tree services that have left logs or the homeowner had a tree fall and everyone is to expensive.
I am sorry but :
I dont take all logs,
I dont do backyard trees.
I dont buy logs!!!
I dont do tree service work.
If you think you can sell your residential tree to a sawmill or logging company please call them.
If your "tree expert" says your tree is worth millions sell it to him. Yard trees are worth nothing nowadays.
The trees I pickup and salvage are turned into lumber i use and chainsaw hobbies.
Hopefully I have communicated my service for you.
Best wishes.
P.s. if you think I am in anyway wrong. Call every sawmill or logger you can. They will confirm your log is not for them. Thats why so many sawmills are vanishing. Politics have wiped out the industry.
I shut down my commercial mill due to labor prices and no where left to sell lumber. When was the last time you bought white or red oak????
most likely never.
So there it is.
This is my hobby.
I dont have to offer this service I just happen to enjoy it
