Wood-Mizer has launched an online local sawmill business
directory that will help connect Wood-Mizer owners with local people in need
of a portable sawmill service to cut their logs into lumber at www.woodmizer.com/localsawmills.
The easy-to-use directory allows
someone to browse sawmill businesses by state, and lists information that
someone would need in order to find the sawmill service that will fit their
needs. Once a sawmill service is selected, contact information is delivered
instantly by email.
For years, Wood-Mizer has helped
people find portable sawmill services over the phone. In March of 2012,
Wood-Mizer created a page on their website where people could request
information for local sawyers. With hundreds of hits a week, and requests
pouring in in the aftermath of disasters
such as Hurricane Sandy, the decision was made to launch a searchable
online sawmill directory, which would be made up of members of the Wood-Mizer
Pro Sawyer Network, pre-qualified sawmill owners that use their sawmills for a
living. More information at www.woodmizer.com/pro.
Portable sawmill businesses
provide many valuable services to their local communities. With a portable
sawmill, storm damaged trees can be turned into usable lumber for projects,
instead of heading to the landfill or the tree chipper. Many Wood-Mizer owners
sell specialty lumber locally, providing species, custom sizes, and prices that
cannot be found at the local lumberyard or box store.
For information about getting
someone to cut your own logs into useable lumber, read “What you
Need to Know when Hiring a Portable Sawmill Service”. To find out how easy
it is to start sawing your own lumber with an entry-level Wood-Mizer sawmill,
