About Mill on Wheels
Mill on Wheels is a mobile sawmill business in Ellenboro, North Carolina. Chris and Reina Carroll own and run it as a husband and wife team. Instead of hauling your logs to a mill, they bring the saw mill to your property, cut the logs into lumber, and stack it on site. It has been operating for over 10 years and serves the NC Piedmont, Western NC, Upstate SC and Eastern TN, including Charlotte, Hickory, Morganton and Greenville SC. Chris has earned Woodmizer's Million Boardfoot designation and has 28+ years in home construction, woodworking and the sawmill trade. The mill handles logs up to 32 inches across and 18 1/2 feet long. It saws oak, cedar and pine, and it does custom dimensions, live edge, bookmatched and true dimensional lumber. The business also does clearing and site prep, debris hauling and cleanup, and project consulting, including advice on log lengths to give your tree guy. A job starts with a call about your trees and how you want to use them. If the job needs it, Chris visits the site for $180, which comes off your first invoice if you hire them. You then get a written estimate. A deposit holds your place in the queue, which usually runs three to four weeks out. Lumber is stickered and stacked for airflow, and Chris explains how to keep it from molding. Kiln drying and planing are handled by outside shops, and the business can haul lumber to the kiln for an added fee. This business suits a landowner in that area with logs already on the ground who wants them milled on the property and the lumber kept there. It is also a good fit for someone who wants help planning a build from their own trees. From millonwheels.com, read 3 October 2026.
