Is It Worth it to Mill Your Own Lumber?


Listen Later

This episode of Huntin' Land discusses whether it is worth it for landowners to own a personal sawmill. Stephen Gordon from Woodmizer is interviewed to provide information on sawmills. Some key points discussed include: Reasons people own sawmills include milling lumber from their own trees for projects, enjoyment of the process, and potential cost savings.

Maintenance mainly involves lubrication and blade changes. Sawmills are durable but occasional repairs may be needed which Woodmizer can assist with.
