Custom Saw Mill Services

Bring Your Logs to Our Log Yard
 
Need your lumber sooner?
 
Bring your logs directly to our Galien Michigan shop for a faster turnaround. Many smaller projects can be completed within the same week.
 
Our shop also features a 72-inch Lucas Mill, allowing us to produce oversized live-edge slabs and large custom timbers that aren't possible on a mill.
 
 
Whether your trees came down in a storm, were removed during construction, or have been waiting for the right project, we'll help you make the most of them.
 
Best for:
 
Fallen trees
 
Farm and barn projects
 
Timber framing
 
Custom lumber
 
Live-edge slabs
 
 
 
 
Hardwood Flooring from Your Own Trees
 
Imagine walking across a floor made from the trees that grew on your property.
 
We manufacture custom hardwood flooring from your own logs or from our inventory, creating one-of-a-kind floors with a story that can't be purchased from a big-box store.
 
Available in a variety of species, widths, and profiles.
 
 
 
 
Custom Millwork & Mouldings
 
Whether you're matching historic trim or creating something entirely new, we manufacture custom mouldings in-house.
 
Examples include:
 
Baseboard
 
Crown moulding
 
Casing
 
Shiplap
 
Tongue & Groove
 
Nickel Gap
 
Paneling
 
Beadboard
 
Architectural profiles
 
 
Custom Doors & Windows
 
We build custom wood doors and windows designed to complement both new construction and historic homes.
 
Whether you're looking for traditional craftsmanship or modern performance, every project is built with attention to detail and quality materials.
 
 
 
Restoration & Historic Preservation
 
Some projects deserve to be preserved—not replaced.
 
We specialize in reproducing architectural details, matching existing millwork, restoring historic wood components, and helping preserve the craftsmanship of older homes and buildings.
 
Our goal is to honor the original work while creating pieces built to last for generations.
 
 
 
Custom Woodworking
 
Every project is different.
 
From furniture components and stair parts to mantels, beams, countertops, and specialty pieces, we enjoy helping customers bring unique ideas to life.
 
If it can be built from wood, we'd love to talk about it.

Before Milling Your Logs
 
A few things to consider before your project begins:
 

 Do your logs match your expectations?
 
Log size determines board size. For example, wide quarter-sawn boards require large logs, and oversized slabs require appropriately sized timber.
 

 Do you have a place to dry your lumber?
 
Proper stacking and stickering are essential. If you don't have the space, we can kiln dry your lumber for you.
 

 Not sure what you need?
 
That's perfectly okay.
 
Every project is different, and we're happy to help determine the best approach for your goals and budge
