About The Wood Butcher
The Wood Butcher is a portable sawmill based in Santa Cruz, run by Nick Slobodian. The mill comes to the job, and the business serves the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California. Its sawmill can handle oversized logs that many sawmills cannot, and it can reach places from back yards to forest ravines. The work falls into three main lines. Mobile sawmill services turn your logs into lumber and slabs, and the site puts it as "Big, Small, Hard, or Soft." Custom milling takes rough sawn lumber down to finished dimensions and can level, plane, and sand large, oversized wood slabs. Design and build work runs through Alta Vista Home & Garden, which takes your lumber and builds it into a finished design. Nick has over 10 years of work in the forest and with communities. He holds credentials as a Permaculture Designer, Forester, Sawyer, and Agroforestry Specialist. The business is a mill that cuts your own logs, not a buyer of standing timber. It suits a landowner with one large log or a recently fallen tree who wants it cut on or near the property instead of hauled to a mill. It is a good fit for someone who needs a single job done close to home. From thewoodbutcher.net, read 4 October 2026.
