Knothead Works Co.
About Knothead Works Co.
Knothead Works Co. is a sawmill in Fairbanks, Alaska. They mill logs into rough cut lumber, take in custom orders from other people's logs, and occasionally mill material to build their own projects. If you have logs, you haul them to the yard in Fox and bring a cut list of what you want. They can handle anywhere from 1 to 100 logs at a time, cut from 3 feet up to 24 feet long. Logs need to be at least 3 feet long and 6 inches across to be worth milling. Most of their lumber is White Spruce, with some Birch, and occasionally Cottonwood, Chokecherry, or Tamarack. They don't keep lumber in stock, so every order is custom cut and sold green. They also offer portable sawing around the Fairbanks and North Pole area, and will talk through jobs farther out. On top of milling, they sell firewood, including dry bundles at a roadside stand, and sometimes slabwood. Their farrier work books are currently full and they are not taking new horses. There's no stated minimum tract size. The smallest job they describe is a single log, so this is a business set up to handle anything from one log to a full logging job's worth of material. This suits a landowner with just a few logs, or even one, who wants them sawn into lumber rather than sold as standing timber, and who can hssaul the wood to Fox or arrange portable sawing nearby.
