About Sawmill Service for Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri
Sawmill Service for Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri is a custom sawmill in Donnellson, Iowa, run by Dennis Janssen under the name Monk Creek Woodworks. You bring in your logs and the mill cuts them into lumber. It serves customers in Southeast Iowa, West-Central Illinois, and Northeast Missouri. The mill's invitation is "Bring us your logs," and before any cutting starts it advises on the best sawing method for how you plan to use the wood. The mill takes logs up to 16 feet long and 36 inches across. It saws ash, black locust, cherry, hickory, red and white oak, walnut, maple, osage orange, red cedar, pine, and several other species. Sawing is charged by machine hour at a flat $100.00 rate. Unloading and moving logs is $50.00 an hour. Someone has to take boards off the mill while it runs. You can supply that person, which cuts the machine hours, or the crew can do it for $25.00 an hour. Metal in a log that damages a blade costs $35.00 a blade. Payment is due on completion by check, cash, or credit card, with a 2.9% surcharge on cards. Sales tax is extra. Dennis has worked with wood since his teenage years and has earned the title "Master Woodworker" from the Marc Adams School of Woodworking. Visits to the mill need an appointment first. It suits a landowner who already has logs and wants them sawn into air-dried boards for their own shop or home project, and who is willing to help at the mill to keep the cost down.
