About Kent's Sawmill and Michigan Lumbermill
Kent's Sawmill and Michigan Lumbermill is a family-run sawmill in Atlanta, Michigan, on Mouch Rd. They saw White Pine and Red Pine into rough-cut lumber and take on custom milling, cutting boards, beams and slabs to size for builders and homeowners. Alongside the sawn lumber they also sell wood chips, sawdust and bark. If you bring them logs, they run them through a band saw rather than a circular mill, so you get a thinner kerf, wider slabs and cleaner cuts, with more usable lumber out of each log. They describe their White Pine as having "charm," light, easy to work, with a straight grain, good for trim and siding. Their Red Pine they call "the muscle," denser and resinous, used for framing and heavier work. The mill is owned by Laverne Kent and run day to day by Laverne and Lonny Kent, who put the family's roots in Atlanta at more than 20 years. They serve Atlanta, Hillman and Lewiston in Montmorency County, Gaylord and Vanderbilt in Otsego County, and Alpena, Rogers City and Onaway in Alpena and Presque Isle Counties. This fits a landowner near Atlanta who already has logs down, or timber coming off their own land, and wants it milled into usable lumber close to home rather than sold as sawlogs to a buyer elsewhere.
