What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting Mountain Milling Co. means stepping into an active sawmill operation where you can see timber being transformed into lumber. You’ll hear the distinctive sound of bandsaw blades cutting through logs, smell fresh sawdust, and witness skilled operators handling large timber with precision equipment.

The mill yard typically displays stacks of air-drying lumber, live-edge slabs leaning against racks, and piles of logs waiting to be processed. Staff members can discuss your project requirements, show you available species and grades, and explain the milling process if you’re bringing your own logs for custom cutting.

Products & Materials

Mountain Milling Co. processes a variety of Arkansas timber species including oak, hickory, walnut, cherry, pine, and cedar. Our bandsaw mill can handle logs up to specific diameters and lengths, producing everything from thin boards to massive beams. We cut dimensional lumber, live-edge slabs for furniture makers, and custom profiles for specialized construction needs.

Available products include rough-sawn lumber in various thicknesses, quarter-sawn and plain-sawn boards, structural timbers, fence posts, and barn wood. We can accommodate special requests for specific grain patterns, wood grades, or unusual dimensions that standard lumber yards cannot provide.

Green lumber is available immediately off the saw, while kiln-dried lumber may require advance ordering or coordination with local drying services. We also maintain an inventory of air-dried lumber in popular species and sizes for customers who need seasoned wood without the wait time.
