Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting Precision Lumber typically begins with discussing your project requirements and examining available lumber or bringing your logs for evaluation. The experienced staff will walk you through options for cuts, dimensions, and drying methods while providing realistic timelines for custom milling work.

The facility features both bandsaw and circle saw capabilities, allowing them to handle everything from precision furniture-grade cuts to heavy timber framing. You’ll likely hear the distinctive sounds of milling operations and smell the fresh sawdust that characterizes an active sawmill environment.

Products & Materials

Precision Lumber’s product lineup centers on custom-sawn lumber in various dimensions, from standard construction grades to specialty cuts for fine woodworking. They regularly mill Eastern White Pine, Red Oak, Sugar Maple, Yellow Birch, and other regional species, with the ability to accommodate special requests for less common woods when available.

Live-edge slabs represent a significant specialty, perfect for countertops, tabletops, and artistic projects where natural wood character takes center stage. Their beam and timber cutting capabilities serve both restoration projects requiring historically accurate dimensions and new construction demanding modern engineering specifications.

Additional services typically include kiln drying for customers needing seasoned lumber on specific timelines, though green lumber remains popular for projects where natural drying is preferred or where immediate dimensional stability isn’t critical.

Who Shops Here

The customer base includes professional builders seeking custom dimensions unavailable from retail lumber yards, furniture makers requiring specific species and grain patterns, timber framers needing traditional joinery-ready beams, and property owners looking to mill trees removed during land clearing or storm cleanup. Weekend woodworkers also frequent the mill for specialty cuts and live-edge pieces that would cost significantly more through retail channels.

Serving the Wentworth, New Hampshire Area

Wentworth’s location in New Hampshire’s North Country places it at the heart of sustainable forestry operations and a thriving community of craftspeople who value locally-sourced materials.

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead to discuss your project requirements and confirm the mill’s current operating schedule
• Bring specific measurements and quantities needed, as custom milling pricing often depends on total board feet
• If bringing your own logs, ensure they’ve been down less than a few weeks to minimize checking and insect damage
• Ask about moisture content and drying options upfront, as this significantly impacts project timelines
• Consider the difference between bandsaw and circle saw cuts for your specific application
• Inquire about minimum quantities for custom milling, as setup time may require minimum orders
