Small parcels of timber can be uneconomic to transport to a fixed sawmill.

Using our Wood-mizer mobile sawmill we can come to you and cut up your timber to your specification. A felled tree worth almost nothing on the ground can be milled into planks, posts, beams, etc worth hundreds of pounds. This can be used by the landowner for their own use or sold on to defray the cost of felling.

The Woodmiser is self-contained, with its own hydraulics for lifting and handing the trunks on the 16ft saw bed. A 1½" bandsaw with a 3ft throat rides back and forth on the carriage, driven by a 30hp diesel engine. The unit has the flexibility to take many different cross sectioned pieces out of each tree.

For larger tree butts, between 30" and 48" in diameter, we will use our Logosol chain saw mill. We use our largest capacity chainsaw with a ripping chain that rides on a custom aluminum rail that is secured to the trunk.

The truck is then halved or quartered to dimensions that can be milled on the Woodmizer. Although slower and cutting a bigger kerf than the Woodmizer, there are occasions where the Logosol chainsaw mill is used to dimension timber, such as where access is a problem or the trunk is too long for the Woodmizer bed.

We can supply extra manpower and handling equipment according to what the job needs. Our rough terrain forklift is small and maneuverable to get access  in most situations and with a 1300kg lift capacity will handle all but the heaviest butts.

Whatever the job we are allows happy to discuss it and give advice. We can work on a day or week rate, or can discuss profit-share options on the cut timber.

Carpentry and Timber Construction

We undertake general carpentry and joinery work. An important part of our business is outdoor construction using our own milled timber. This includes oak framed structures such as outbuildings, bridges and pergolas.
