Red cedar
Rare red cedar with an exceptional color. These have already sold as usual the red ones don't last long after they're posted for sale!
1/8 th" elm boards
These are siding boards we cut for an outbuilding project. You can get a lot of boards out of a log when you cut it that thin!
Elm
Elm is one of the more expensive species of lumber. It becomes obvious why after you see it in person. Very beautiful grain patterns and its more stable and rot resistant than a lot of the other hardwoods.
White oak
Quarter sawn white oak was one of the more sought-after lumber options in the 80's and 90's. It's obvious why when you see those striations. This was cut from a really old dead tree which is why you see the checking throughout it.
Mesquite
Mesquite has grown in popularity recently because of its unique grain structure and exceptional stability. This particular piece was cut from the base of an old growth tree that was blown over in a tornado.

Custom Log Milling — $100/hour
Have logs you'd like milled into usable lumber or live-edge slabs? Kuykendall Contracting offers custom log milling at $100 per hour, with the milling time beginning when we start unloading your logs and ending once your finished lumber or slabs are loaded back onto your trailer.
This hourly rate includes the handling and milling of your logs through the sawmill. Because every log is different, total milling time will vary depending on the size, number, condition, and type of logs being processed, as well as the dimensions and cuts requested.
Important: Metal in Logs
Please let us know if you are aware of any nails, screws, wire, fencing, or other metal that may be embedded in your logs. Hidden metal can damage or destroy sawmill blades.
If metal is encountered and causes blade damage, a $25 blade replacement fee will be added to the milling charge.
If you're unsure whether your logs are suitable for milling, contact us before bringing them in. We're happy to discuss your logs and what you'd like to have milled.
