Logs to Lumber Mobile Sawmill is a portable sawmill business based in Huntsville, Alabama. The owner brings a Wood-Mizer LT40 Super Hydraulic mill to your property and saws your logs into lumber there, so the logs don't have to be hauled to a mill. The business works throughout North Alabama and Southern Middle Tennessee, and Madison County is the county it serves. The species it names are oak, cedar and hickory. The pricing is straightforward. The rate is $120.00 an hour, with a one-hour minimum and 15-minute increments after the first hour. That covers the mill, the sawyer and all supplies. Setup is $50.00 for each setup, blades are $30.00 each, and travel is $1.00 per mile to and from the site. The business accepts cash and check. The owner says charging by the board foot was troublesome for him and his customers, so he bills by the hour instead. Your part keeps the cost down. In the business's words, "The key to keeping costs down is for the customer to have all the logs prepositioned for loading." Have the logs ready to load and a few people on hand to help move the lumber. This suits a landowner with oak, cedar or hickory logs already down in North Alabama or Southern Middle Tennessee who wants them sawn on the property and is ready to lend a hand.

How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local".
