Milling & drying

From log to finished board, with every step done by us.

Mobile milling on your property

Got a tree that's fallen in a storm, or one that has to come down? Have you carefully nurtured trees through to harvest? Too often good hardwood ends up as firewood or mulch. Our trailer-mounted bandsaw mill can come to you and turn your logs into timber you can use.

  • Posts, beams and bearers
  • Farm timbers - fencing, construction, infrastructure
  • Slabs for tables and benchtops (max width ~750mm, can point you towards some alternative millers..)
  • Boards for decking, cladding and furniture
  • Custom sizes cut to your plans

Flexible rates depending on how involved you want to be in terms of labour available, access, machinery, volume to process. Hands on? Hands off? Let's chat.

Drying & finishing

Solar kiln drying

Our solar kiln dries hardwood gently, using the sun instead of fossil fuel. Slow, controlled drying means less checking and distortion.

Planing & dressing

We can thickness or four-side plane rough-sawn timber to consistent, ready-to-use dimensions.

Custom orders

Need a long beam, a matched set of posts or bridge decking? Ask us. We can often select a log to suit.

To give you a useful quote, it helps to know:

  • The species, if you know it, and the rough diameter and length of each log
  • Whether the logs are on the ground and easy to reach with a vehicle and trailer
  • What you'd like the timber cut into
  • A few photos
