About Portable Sawmill in Lower Michigan
Portable Sawmill in Lower Michigan is Sawman, a locally owned business run by Steve Neil, an engineer and carpenter who grew up on a small farm. The mill comes to your property anywhere in Lower Michigan, so your logs stay where they are instead of going to a mill. Most of the work is milling logs you already have, whether you are clearing trees or building something. Sawman turns logs into rough sawn lumber, live edge slabs, and custom cuts and beams for barns, sheds, fencing, tables, timber frames, and porch beams. It will saw any species you choose. It can mill logs up to 34 inches across, and 12 to 14 inches is the smallest it usually saws efficiently. Boards can be cut from half an inch thick and from 2 to 18 inches wide. It typically works only with trees already on the ground, so a tree feller needs to drop them first. It does not haul away the waste or remove stumps. Pricing depends on time, log size, and the cuts you want, and most on-site jobs start at $200, which covers travel, setup, and initial milling time. The owner's own words are that "all materials from the tree remain yours." It suits a landowner with felled trees on a farm or woodlot who wants boards or slabs from their own logs and would rather not haul them to a mill. From sawmanmilling.com, read 12 November 2026.
