Other Products and Services

If it has to do with wood, I do it! With my portable sawmill I can saw logs at my place or yours. I have three solar kilns with a capacity of 9,000 board feet. I have a well equipped shop with a 24" planer and 43" wide belt sander. Quite often I saw a non-woodworking customer's logs and build furniture or cabinets from the lumber.

If I can't do it in my shop I have a network of local shops that do everything from planing and straight-line ripping to milling custom moldings. We can reproduce your obsolite mouldings from a sample piece.

I maintain a list of subcontractors that can assist you with anything from flooring installation and finishing to installing complete trim packages. Call or email with your needs.

I'm a member of the International Wood Collectors Society and collect and prepare thousands of standard 1/2 x 3 x 6" domestic and exotic samples annually. See my website for a list of available samples and a link to the IWCS. Join today!
