Location & Directions

What to Expect When You Visit

Visiting a working saw mill like Moser’s Mapleridge offers an authentic experience where you’ll hear the distinctive sound of bandsaw blades cutting through timber and see skilled operators transforming logs into lumber. The facility typically features stacks of air-drying lumber, a covered area for equipment, and fresh sawdust that indicates active milling operations.

Expect knowledgeable staff who can discuss wood species, grain patterns, moisture content, and milling options while walking you through available inventory. Many customers bring their own logs from land clearing or storm damage, making each visit unique as you witness raw timber becoming usable lumber for your specific project needs.

Products & Materials

Our saw mill specializes in custom-cut lumber from northeastern hardwoods and softwoods, including sugar maple, red oak, white oak, black cherry, ash, eastern white pine, and hemlock. We produce dimensional lumber in standard and custom sizes, from 1-inch boards to massive 12×12 timbers, along with specialty cuts like quarter-sawn and rift-sawn lumber for fine woodworking projects.

Live-edge slabs are a signature product, showcasing natural wood beauty with bark edges intact, available in widths up to 36 inches and lengths exceeding 12 feet. These unique pieces work perfectly for dining tables, bar tops, mantels, and artistic applications where natural character takes center stage.

We also mill structural timbers, barn beams, fence posts, and boarding lumber, with options for both green lumber (freshly cut with higher moisture content) and kiln-dried lumber (stabilized for indoor projects). Custom milling services include planing, edging, and cutting logs brought by customers from their own property.

Who Shops Here

Our customer base includes furniture makers and cabinet shops requiring specific wood species and grades, contractors needing custom beams and structural lumber, hobby woodworkers seeking unique slabs for special projects, farmers requiring fence posts and barn lumber, and homeowners with trees removed from their property who want to preserve the wood as usable lumber rather than firewood.

Serving the Copenhagen, New York Area

Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Call ahead if bringing logs for custom milling to ensure equipment availability and discuss pricing
• Bring measurements and project details to get accurate lumber recommendations and quantities
• Ask about moisture content – green lumber is less expensive but requires drying time
• Inspect slab inventory in person since each piece has unique grain patterns and character
• Consider seasonal timing as outdoor milling may be limited during harsh winter weather
• Bring a truck or trailer for lumber pickup, as most pieces are too large for standard vehicles
