About GW Green, Urban Forester/Sawyer
GW Green, Urban Forester/Sawyer, is a sawmill and woodworking shop at 9923 N. 800 E. in Syracuse, Indiana. It has sawed yard waste trees, blow-downs and reclaimed woods since 2001. The owner taught industrial education for seven years, then spent eighteen years building homes around Lake Wawasee, where he watched hundreds of trees go to firewood or the dump. He later bought a portable bandsaw mill. Log sawing is the main work. The mill can come to your place, or you can bring logs to the shop. Sawing can happen "at my place or yours." Milling is $60.00 per hour, which includes drive time when the mill is set up at your location. A typical log takes between a half hour and 45 minutes. Logs can be cut into 18″ square beams up to 21′ long. The shop also does kiln drying, surfacing, straight line ripping and log hauling. Species named include black oak, quarter-sawn white oak and cherry. One 38-inch, 12-foot black oak yielded about 800 board feet of lumber. The shop also makes custom millwork, furniture, stair parts and cabinets. It sometimes buys a few logs from smaller loggers and high grade lumber from a few local sawmills. Its clients drive in from Chicago, South Bend, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Southern Michigan. The county it serves is Kosciusko. It suits a landowner with a few logs from a yard tree, a storm-downed oak or a tree cleared from a lot, who wants them sawed, dried and maybe built into something. It is less suited to a landowner looking to sell a whole stand of standing timber. From woodsbygwgreen.com, read 9 November 2026.
