Wood-Mizer has launched an online local sawmill business directory that will help connect Wood-Mizer sawmill owners with local people who need a portable sawmill service to cut their logs into lumber at www.woodmizer.com/localsawmills.
The easy-to-use directory allows anyone to browse sawmill businesses by state, and lists information that someone would need in order to find the sawmill service that will fit its needs. Once a sawmill service is selected, contact information is delivered instantly by email.
For years, Wood-Mizer has helped people over the phone to find portable sawmill services. Now Wood-Mizer has created a page on its website where people can request information on local sawyers. With hundreds of hits a week and requests pouring in after 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.
Portable sawmill businesses provide many valuable services to their local communities. With a portable sawmill, storm damaged trees can be turned into useable 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 “Hiring a Custom Sawyer: What you need to know.” To find out how easy it is to start sawing your own lumber with an entry-level Wood-Mizer sawmill, visit www.woodmizer.com.
