My sawmilling service is usually based on a \u201cper board feet\u201d of lumber sawn. Hourly rates is generally more
\nacceptable for sawing Eastern Red Cedar or special dimension lumber or beams.<\/p>\n
A $25 blade charge is applied anytime a saw blade is ruined by hitting metal or any foreign object in a log. This
\nis most commonly nails, screws, and wire.<\/p>\n
For travel distances over 20 miles a one time setup fee may apply.<\/p>\n
Payment by cash or personal check will be expected upon completion of the saw job.<\/p>\n
Log\/Lumber Yield:
\nA board foot is defined as being 1\u201d thick and 12\u201d wide and 12\u201d long or 144 cubic inches of wood. So a board 1\u201d
\nthick by 12\u201d wide by 8\u2019 long contains 8 board feet. A standard 2X4 – 8\u2019 stud contains 5.3 board feet.<\/p>\n
Since my sawmill uses a 1\/8\u201d thick blade instead of the normal \u00bc\u201d commercial sawmill blade, your actual
\nlumber yield will generally be greater that Doyle scaled logs.<\/p>\n
Air Drying Lumber:
\nGetting rid of the moisture in lumber requires sticker stacking and good air circulation. Lumber should be sticker
\nstacked soon after milling. My suggestion is within a few days in most cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
