Florida Crotchwood
About Florida Crotchwood
Florida Crotchwood is a mobile sawmill based in Fort White, Florida. They bring the mill to your property, so you don't have to haul a big log anywhere. Their Lucas mill cuts trees up to 60 inches wide and 20 feet long, and they say they start where a Wood-Mizer stops. They also do custom cutting and planing, have a dry kiln, and do urban recycling, which means cutting yard and streetscape trees. Setup is simple. If the tree is on the ground, you need an open area about 13 feet wide and 20 feet long so they can assemble the saw around the log. The mill fits through a 4 foot gate and is ready to cut in about twenty minutes. You won't need heavy equipment tearing up the lawn or a loader to move the log. They don't build furniture or cut down trees, but if you have a big tree, they suggest calling them before you hire a tree service, since they can often save you money on dumping fees. Keep in mind they cut slabs, not boards. "Please remember we cut slabs, not boards." Their species include laurel oak, monkey pod, pecan, red oak, red bay, hickory, camphor, eucalyptus, sweet gum, box elder, spalted sycamore, spalted hackberry, and old growth river recovered cypress. Lori Frazee and Paula Nicks bought the mill in mid 2008 and started out supplying woodturners with turning blanks. They list Columbia County among the areas they serve. This suits a landowner with a big hardwood or a yard tree who wants slabs for a table or counter top and doesn't need boards. From floridacrotchwood.com, read 18 October 2026.
