Run of the Mill

About Run of the Mill

Run of the Mill is a sawmill and woodworking shop in Good Thunder, Minnesota. It saws logs, kiln dries the lumber, finishes the wood and builds custom solid wood furniture, all on an ala-carte basis, so you can ask for just the sawing or just the drying. It also sells live edge slabs and wood cookies, which are end grain disks. Walnut is the species it names. Its furniture is made from trees felled from neighborhoods due to hazard or declining health, and it reclaims wood from end of life trees. The shop has several hundred live edge slabs on hand, most 3 inches thick with two live edges, and they have already been kiln dried. It has been building solid wood furniture for many years, and it serves Blue Earth County. The owner is John Kaliski. Its own words describe it as "Your On Demand Wood Shop," and it asks anyone with a project in mind to call for help with sawing, kiln drying or finishing. It suits a landowner with a walnut tree that has come down or has to come out, who wants the wood sawn, dried and finished into a custom piece to keep. From runthemill.com, read 7 November 2026.
