Spacht Sawmill

About Spacht Sawmill

Spacht Sawmill is a sawmill in Fairview Village, Pennsylvania, close to Norristown, about 20 miles outside Philadelphia. It has been running on the same ground since 1928, and Dave and Carol Spacht have run it since 1983 as a "rural" sawmill selling local hardwoods to craftsmen and woodworkers. This isn't a timber buyer. If you have logs you want cut into boards, you bring them to the mill yourself; they don't pick up logs and don't buy standing timber. Custom sawing runs $175 per hour of mill time, and they may ask for a deposit along with a signed agreement covering damage to the saw if your log turns out to have hardware or stones in it. They also do custom planing. Logs need to be at least 4 feet long, no more than 28 inches across, and trimmed flush so they roll onto the saw. They work in ash, cherry, maple, pine, oak, walnut, red oak, white oak, poplar, black walnut, quartersawn sycamore, sassafras, elm, black locust, pawlonia, and catalpa, and are certified in the standards of the National Hardwood Lumber Manufacturers Associations. They serve Montgomery County and the area around Valley Forge, Plymouth Meeting, Collegeville, and Lansdale. This suits a landowner who already has logs down and wants them sawn to their own measurements, not someone looking to sell standing timber or have trees cut and hauled.
