Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Bring logs that have been recently felled and properly stored to prevent checking and insect damage
• Call ahead to discuss your project timeline, as custom milling often requires scheduling around other jobs
• Consider the end moisture content you need – green lumber is cheaper but requires drying time
• Ask about minimum board footage requirements, as some jobs may be too small for efficient processing
• Bring measurements and specifications in writing to ensure accurate cutting and minimize waste
• Inquire about sawdust and slab waste if you need materials for landscaping or smaller projects
