Our Services
Services
Sawmill
Our horizontal bandsaw sawmills give us the ability to cut a wide variety products ranging from board stock to very large, long timbers. We can resize reclaimed, dimensional timber to something smaller.
Resaw
Our resaw is primarily used to split material rapidly and with great accuracy. It is typically used to split 2x reclaimed lumber into two individual 1″ pieces each with one old face.
Bandsaw
With one stationary and two articulating band-saws, we can cut about any set of curves you can dream up. They are the perfect machines for cutting arches, truss braces, rounded table tops, and corbels.
