What do you get when you mix a guy who can think up and build almost anything - whose motto is "go big or go home" with a super-smart Engineer? An absolute monster of a sawmill!! No tree is too big for this beast. We took a Linn Lumber sawmill kit and modified it to a 48" cut! This is the first test run of the completed sawmill. (which is why we used a scrap log). We'll upload more videos when we cut some of our big monsters!!
We were directly in the path of Hurricane Laura. The eye and all its wrath, including 150+ mph winds, came straight up our driveway. We suffered minimal damage compared to a lot of our friends and family. The destruction and devastation to our area was heart breaking.
My husband and I drove around the neighborhood to see how others made out and offer help. We both immediately noticed all of the trees that were ripped out of the ground thrown everywhere - which is to be expected in a major hurricane - but we were surprised to see all of the gigantic trees that were destroyed. There was a huge oak tree at a house down the street - 70' tall and over 48" in diameter.
We knew that in the coming months the debris trucks would chop it up and haul it away. We were determined to "save" it! We called towing companies and portable sawmill services but no luck. Then one day my husband saw the truck picking up the trees. He stopped and talked to them and next thing I know we had our 1st tree trunk in our yard!
Now to save the rest...My husband immediately recruited his friend (and super smart engineer) in our adventure! And boy did it pay off. The 2 mega-brains built a contraption to lift the monstrous trunks on to a trailer and then off load them at our house.
As pretty as they are lining my driveway we had to do something with them. The 2 mega brains started researching and next thing I knew we're slabbing trees!!
Contact us!! We have a ton of tree slabs in our warehouse in a variety of lengths, widths and species. We'll find the perfect piece for you.
