Products & Materials

Weber Brothers Sawmill produces a comprehensive range of lumber products from locally sourced timber. Their custom milling services can transform your logs into dimensional lumber, live-edge slabs, beams, timbers, and specialty cuts tailored to your project requirements. Popular hardwood species include red and white oak, hard and soft maple, cherry, walnut, and ash, while softwood options typically feature pine, cedar, and hemlock.

The sawmill offers lumber in various stages of drying, from green (freshly cut) to air-dried and potentially kiln-dried materials depending on your timeline and application. Live-edge slabs are particularly popular for furniture makers and woodworkers seeking unique pieces with natural bark edges and distinctive grain patterns. Structural timbers and beams serve construction projects requiring heavy-duty load-bearing members.

Custom milling services allow customers to bring their own logs and specify exact dimensions, while the sawmill’s inventory provides ready-to-use options in standard and non-standard sizes. All lumber can be processed to customer specifications for thickness, width, and length, with options for different surface finishes from rough-sawn to planed smooth.

Who Shops Here

Weber Brothers Sawmill serves a diverse customer base including professional woodworkers and furniture makers seeking premium lumber, contractors and builders needing custom-cut structural materials, farmers requiring lumber for barns and outbuildings, and property owners with trees to mill into usable lumber. Hobbyist woodworkers also frequent the sawmill for unique species and live-edge slabs unavailable at retail lumber yards, while loggers and tree services bring clients’ valuable trees for custom processing rather than sending them to the chipper.

Serving the Mt Pleasant, Michigan Area

Mt Pleasant’s woodworking community benefits from Michigan’s rich forestry heritage and the presence of Central Michigan University, which brings both student makers and faculty involved in wood-related programs.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead to discuss your specific lumber needs and confirm inventory availability, especially for specialty species or large quantities
• Bring measurements and project details to help the sawmill recommend appropriate species, grades, and moisture content for your application
• If bringing logs for custom milling, allow several weeks for processing and drying time depending on thickness and intended use
• Ask about air-drying versus kiln-drying options and timeline differences, as this significantly impacts lumber stability and project scheduling
• Inspect lumber carefully for grain pattern, defects, and dimensions, as sawmill lumber often varies from standard retail specifications
• Consider purchasing extra material to account for natural variations in sawmill lumber and potential project modifications
