UVA Sawmilling
About UVA Sawmilling
UVA Sawmilling is a sawmill in Charlottesville, Virginia, established in 2020. It mills logs on a bandsaw mill or a dedicated slabbing mill, then dries the lumber in solar kilns. Its wood comes from fallen and removed trees on the University of Virginia Grounds and the surrounding region. The page puts it this way: "Instead of letting campus timber become mulch." The work falls into three services. Salvage and Steward covers reclaiming fallen and removed trees and tracking carbon sequestration for each one with software. Mill and Dry covers milling and drying, with the lumber going into custom products, student projects, faculty research and sale to the public. Build and Teach covers retail goods, community projects and teaching about circular material use and local wood species. The species named on its pages are tulip poplar, northern red oak and black walnut. Its contact page asks people to email or message on Instagram about fallen trees on and off Grounds, material requests, slab purchases and general questions about a project. The county it names is Albemarle. It suits a landowner in Albemarle with a fallen or removed hardwood who wants it milled and dried close to home, or a buyer looking for slabs and locally milled pieces.
