We price by the board foot not by the hour so that way you pay just for product, not loading of logs, turning logs, edging boards, changing gas, dull blades and one of those off days when things don’t go just right. Discuss with sawyer for pricing by the square foot.

Pricing ranges from 35¢ to 50¢ board foot*

• an additional charge may be applied for logs of small diameter or less than 7 feet.
• Logs greater than 28 inches in diameter must have equipment on site to handle logs and are subject to additional cost.
• Log requiring chain sawing by the sawyer is subject to a 65 dollar an hour charge.

Lets use an example of a 12 foot long log with a 16" small end measured inside the bark. (You must measure the small end since this is where footage is calculated from.). If you consult the Doyle log chart you can see that that log has 108 board feet in it. Since the chart is based on circular saw mill and we use a Woodmizer® bandsaw, with a thin kerf on the blade and experienced sawyering techniques, we can gain up to 30% more lumber out of your logs from the Doyle Log Rule chart. So now in that log your around 140 board feet, do that for each log and you will get a rough but fairly accurate account the total board footage.

Travel cost

This fee may be waived depending on your circumstance or if you live within 20km of the mill site or the warehouse there is no cost. A flat rate fee applies after 20 km.

Blade and mill Advantages

We use the more expensive double hard 1 ½ " blade not the cheaper 1" or 1 ¼ " blade to gives a better end product in which we strive for. We set and sharpen our blades ourselves to better than, in our opinion, manufactures specs and we only run a blade for 1 to 2 hours then change it. So to help use maintain this high quality in our blades we ask you to clean and stack your logs with the small ends facing in the same direction. If we should happen to strike metal in your log and it damages our blades beyond repair there will be $60.00 fee for the blade.

Minimum on site charge

While there is no minimum at the mill for milling, there is however a minimum of $500.00 plus taxes to go on your site. Logs that are less than 7 feet or 10 inches in diameter must be handle by hand and therefore are subject to an additional cost please consult with the sawyer prior to pricing of these logs.

Rent Or Buy

We have professionally engineered stickers that you can rent or buy from us. The advantage of using these stickers it assured thickness across the rows of lumber. Reduces the possibility of sticker staining from using wet stickers. Rent the stickers by paying 60 cents per sticker and receiving 35 cents back on the return of usable sticks. Or simply buy and reuse these quality stickers for you next purchase of green lumber. You can also use these sticks to stack you dried lumber in your shop to keep your wood at the proper moisture content.
