About Custom Saw Milling in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin
Custom Saw Milling in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin is a portable sawmill service based in Lindenhurst, Illinois, in Lake County. The sawyer comes to your land and cuts your logs there, so you don't have to haul them to a mill. The business describes its work as "Turn downed trees into valuable lumber." The mill takes logs 4 to 17 feet long and up to 28 inches across, with a maximum cut of 23 inches. Board feet are figured by the Doyle log rule. The charge is $45 per hundred board feet of lumber actually cut, plus a $25 setup fee and $2 a mile one way for travel. You provide able-bodied helpers at least 18 years old to load logs and unload lumber. Without helpers, the rate is $75 an hour. Logs must be lined up parallel to the milling spot, and you sign a custom lumber contract and a release of liability before milling starts. Payment is due in full at the time of service, by cash, check or credit card. The business also will purchase hardwood logs. Its advice on the finished boards is to store them flat on level ground and stickered. This suits a landowner in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin with a few hardwood logs down who would rather have them cut on the property than hauled away.
