Many people ask me how long it takes to mill a log. The $25-per-blade charge allows me to differentiate between those jobs that may require only one blade per day (softwoods, such as cedar and pine) and those jobs that may require one blade per log (3-year-old 36” wide hickory). I do not charge for time related to machine down-time, set-up, consultations, breaks, or mechanical adjustments. The hourly milling rate begins when the sawing begins and it ends when I shut the engine off. Set-up includes setting up and taking down the mill.

Sometimes folks set a budget and I work within that figure.Įach portable mill job includes three costs- mobile set-up fee ($150), milling by the hour ($105/hr), and blade cost ($25/blade). I do not have a minimum fee, so you can choose to do as little or as much of your project as you like. I can then provide you with a rough estimate of your trees’ value, the project costs, alternative options, and the timeframe when you can expect to have them milled.
When we talk on the phone, I will ask you about the dimensions of the trees you wish to have milled, their condition, your project goals, and your site. If you need an arborist, see my Local Contacts page. Please note that I do not cut down trees and I do not barter milling services for lumber. My cell is 91 and you can call/text me anytime.īelow, I’ve provided a basic overview of my pricing. In that call, I’ll let you know if I need to do a site visit prior to milling. Each milling job is unique- based on site accessibility, lumber type, and desired dimensions- so I like to chat on the phone before any milling takes place. I offer portable sawmill services to folks located within 25 miles of Fireside Farm -which includes most of Durham and Chapel Hill, and stretches north/south from Burlington to Pittsboro.
