Bassarab Sawmill and Kiln

About Bassarab Sawmill and Kiln

Bassarab Sawmill and Kiln is a sawmill and kiln operation in Friendsville, in Blount County, Tennessee. Evan Basarab, a former locomotive engineer turned woodworker, founded it, and it describes itself as a family business with over 10 years of experience. The shop runs a Wood-Mizer sawmill and an iDRY vacuum kiln. The main work is milling and drying. The business offers mobile sawmilling, so it can come to your place and mill logs on site, or you can bring them to the Friendsville location. Its page says it can "Turn freshly cut logs into milled slabs and boards." It also kiln dries dimensional lumber, and it keeps live-edge slabs and premade wood pieces in stock. Its customers are contractors, makers, and hobbyists. It delivers within its service area for an added fee, and Blount is the county it serves. This is a mill, not a timber buyer or logger, so it does not take in standing timber from landowners. A landowner who wants a stand of trees sold will need someone else. This business suits a landowner with a few logs from a storm or a cleared tree who wants them sawn into slabs or boards and dried for their own use.
