Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead to schedule custom sawing jobs, especially for large timber or specialty cuts that require equipment setup time
• Bring logs that have been recently cut for best results, as older logs may have checking or insect damage that affects lumber quality
• Discuss moisture content needs upfront – green lumber is ready immediately but will shrink as it dries, while kiln-dried lumber is dimensionally stable
• Ask about minimum quantities for custom cuts, as sawmills often have minimum board feet requirements for specialized jobs
• Plan for proper transportation of your lumber, as fresh-cut boards can be heavy and require appropriate truck beds or trailers
• Inquire about wood species identification if you’re bringing logs from your property, as proper species identification affects pricing and end use
