SAWMILL SERVICES

Here at Big Ivy Lumber Co., we’ll mill any amount of lumber – to your exact specifications – at our place, or yours. We’re honored to create beautiful products from Western NC timber, and our commitment to forest stewardship is an essential part of our business. A deep understanding of trees and ever-present respect for the land gives balance and purpose to the way we harvest and saw timber for the use of lumber. After all, without thoughtful consideration for when and how much lumber to harvest – and how much to replant – we would have no sawmill business.

So, whether you’re a home owner with a single hardwood tree you’d like milled right on your property, or a home builder with a truckload of logs ready to be sawed up for a new construction project, drop us a line today to get started. 

We’re already rolling up our sleeves.

IS MOBILE SAWMILLING FOR YOU?

– How many logs do you have to be sawn?
   (In some cases, a smaller number of logs may be better suited for processing at our Barnardsville location)

– Is your property suitable for setting up and processing logs?
  Our portable sawmill requires a flat or gently slopped area with room to maneuver a skid steer.

– Do you have a storage location to stack your freshly cut lumber?
    If you are unsure, we can help assess what you have.

LUMBER CURING AND STORAGE

The storing and curing conditions are critical for your lumber to dry straight, flat, and uniformly.

Our CURING KIT will promote optimal drying conditions

• Cinder Blocks (so no lumber touches the ground beneath)
• Dunnage
(6×6 beams to support lumber on top of bocks)

• Stickers (spacers used for spacing between layers of lumber)
• Shade Cloth (to act as a UV/Weather barrier, allowing airflow)
• Metal Roofing (to cover your stack of freshly sawn lumber)
