Second Chance Hardwoods
About Second Chance Hardwoods
Second Chance Hardwoods is a sawmill in Elkton, Maryland, run by Chris Kendall. It serves Cecil County and sits near where Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware meet. The business custom saws logs into slabs and lumber to any specification on what it calls "this massive band saw mill," built over 18 years ago. The mill can turn out planks up to 55 inches wide and 27 feet long. It works with figured black walnut, maple (ambrosia, birds eye, spalted), sycamore, oak (red, white and black), figured ash, figured cherry, figured beech, elm, poplar and cypress, among other hardwoods. If you have a log to mill, it needs to be over 30 inches across, and you bring it to the mill in Elkton. Second Chance Hardwoods also keeps air-dried hardwood lumber on hand in three large pole barns, offering "top-quality, fine hardwoods at reasonable prices" to furniture makers, home builders, cabinet makers and do-it-yourselfers. This fits a landowner who already has large logs down and wants them custom sawn into slabs or lumber, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or have trees logged off their land.
