custom sawmilling servicescustom cut lumber milled to buyer's specifications

Welker's Custom Cut Lumber is a sawmill in Fresno, California. They mill logs into custom cut lumber to the buyer's specifications, and they also buy timber. If you've got logs, they'll turn them into rough cut boards for framing, siding, corral boards, fencing, bar tops, and mantle pieces. Their main species are white fir, ponderosa pine, sugar pine, and incense cedar, all native to the central Sierra Nevada. They'll also take red fir, lodgepole pine, and Jeffrey pine, and occasionally douglas fir, coast redwood, and giant sequoia. A lot of what they mill comes from trees killed by wildfire and drought, work they describe as "giving new life to devastated trees." Their Woodmizer sawmills can handle logs up to 54 inches across and 32 feet long, so big logs aren't a problem. They serve Fresno County. There's no stated minimum acreage or tract size for timber sales. If you have logs from your land, whether a handful or a large harvest, it sounds like they'll look at them. This one fits a landowner in the Fresno County area who has dead or storm damaged trees and wants them turned into usable lumber rather than left to rot, or who wants their own logs custom milled to specific sizes.

Mobile Sawmill ServicesCustom MillingLevel, Plane, and Sand large, oversized Wood SlabsDesign & Build Services

The Wood Butcher is a mobile sawmill business run out of Santa Cruz, California. Owner Nick Slobodian brings the saw to your logs rather than making you haul them in, working across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, with Fresno County among the areas served. The work itself is custom milling: turning rough logs into lumber and slabs on site, then leveling, planing, and sanding those slabs if you want them finished. The mill is built to handle logs that many yards turn away, and to get into tight spots, as they put it, "access hard to reach places from back yards to forest ravines." If you've just got a fallen tree and want it turned into something useful, that fits too, whether it is a single log or an oversized one nobody else wants to touch. Nick's background covers more than sawing. He's worked as a Permaculture Designer, Forester, Sawyer, and Agroforestry Specialist, with over 10 years in the forest and in community work before starting this business. Beyond milling, there is also a design and build side, Alta Vista Home & Garden, for turning the lumber into a finished project. This suits a landowner with a log or a stand of trees who wants the milling done where the wood is, not hauled off to a yard, and who has an oddly shaped or oversized log that a standard sawmill might refuse.

Timber Edge Lumber Products is a sawmill in Reedley, California, just east of Fresno. It's a "small family-owned sawmill" run by Trennis Good, who started out hand-sawing slabs with a chainsaw before buying his first mill. The work here is rough cut lumber, live edge slabs, custom sawmilling, and custom wood products and personalized gifts. They cut full dimension lumber as well as nominal sizes on request, and their popular cuts include large custom beams, cedar fencing, corral lumber, and 1x12 siding. Species they work with are Lodgepole Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Red Fir, White Fir, Incense Cedar, and occasionally Redwood. If you have logs that need milling, they can bring equipment to your site or mill them at their yard in Reedley. Their WoodMizer LT70 handles logs up to 36 inches across, and their Lucas Dedicated Slabber Mill can cut slabs up to 76 inches wide. Part of their work involves reclaiming fire hazard trees from burn reduction efforts and old orchards that would otherwise be burnt or chipped, turning that wood into lumber and slabs instead. They serve the area around Fresno, Fresno County, and describe themselves as committed to "sustainable practices" using locally sourced logs. This fits a landowner near Fresno with logs or orchard trees coming down, who wants them milled into usable lumber or slabs rather than cleared away. From timberedgeslabs.com, read 4 October 2026.

How much is my timber worth in Fresno County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Fresno County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
