About Wood Eye Wood Products
Wood Eye Wood Products is a sawmill in Smithsburg, Maryland, up in the Catoctin Mountains of Frederick County. Keith Schoonover started it in 1989, and it's still a family operation, with his wife Lori and their kids helping out from time to time. The work here is custom sawing, wide slab flitching, and quarter sawing, plus kiln drying and slab flattening. They cut ash, cherry, maple, oak, sycamore, and walnut. If a tree company is clearing land, or a homeowner has a fallen or dead tree, Keith comes out with his log truck to pick up the logs himself and hauls them back to the mill. From there the wood is sawn, air dried, then finished in a kiln that runs on a wood fired boiler burning scrap from the milling process, so nothing goes to waste. They run two band sawmills, one with a 32 foot cutting capacity and another that handles stock up to 58 inches wide. There's no stated minimum acreage or lot size here. This outfit works from individual logs and fallen trees rather than standing timber tracts, so it's really built for a landowner with just a tree or two down, not someone selling off a stand of timber. Keith describes his approach to the wood itself as wanting every finished surface to feel "like new born skin." This fits a landowner in Frederick County with a tree down or a small amount of logs to turn into lumber or slabs, more than someone looking to sell a standing timber harvest.
