About Hickory & Oak Sawmill and Lumber Company
Hickory & Oak Sawmill and Lumber Company is a family run sawmill in Decatur, Michigan. "If you have logs that you would like have turned into useful lumber, you have found the right place." You bring the logs, or they'll pick them up if close by, and they saw them into boards or beams, kiln dry the lumber, and can take it further into flooring, counter tops, table tops, stair treads, or beams. They work with the hardwoods common to their part of Michigan: Ash, Elm, Walnut, Cherry, Coffee Tree, White and Red Oak, Hickory, Hard Maple, Beech, Sassafras, Sycamore, Tulip Poplar, Black Locust, Honey Locust, Osage, and Catalpa. Services include custom sawmilling, kiln drying, large glue ups, wide panel sanding, planing, straight line ripping, live-edge slab surfacing, and custom slab sawing. They mostly buy logs rather than standing timber, and say they buy "sometimes, maybe" depending on what they need, with Walnut and large diameter logs usually of interest. They do not log woods, though they'll occasionally buy a few standing trees. Logs need to be at least 12 inches in diameter to go on the mill. They serve Southwest Michigan, naming Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Chicago as areas they reach, and the business has operated since 2003. This suits a landowner who already has logs down, from a storm, a building project, or a few trees taken out, and wants them turned into usable lumber or finished pieces rather than sold off as standing timber.
