About By the Board Lumber Co
By the Board Lumber Co is a sawmill and lumber yard in Readfield, Maine, on Route 17. They buy logs from local loggers and saw hemlock and pine that comes from right there in Maine. The work here is custom sawing more than standing timber sales. If you bring in your own logs they'll saw them, and for a big project like a barn or house they "can saw it out as you build it or saw the entire project and deliver it to your site." They'll also cut odd sizes for special projects, make railroad ties and land ties, and deliver bark mulch. Rough sawn hemlock and pine boards are sold at the yard, along with kiln-dried finished pine. They serve Kennebec County. Russ bought his first sawmill in June of 1998, running it as a portable rig on nights and weekends. The business has grown since, adding buildings and equipment, and moved to its current Readfield location on Route 17 in February of 2016. No acreage or tract size is mentioned here, since the work is about logs and sawing rather than buying standing timber off a woodlot. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who wants custom sawing done for a building project, more than someone who needs a buyer to come mark and harvest trees still standing.
