Thread: Lots of logs- need to mill now

By veneer buyers I mean't companies like Proveneer in Brisbane. They go anywhere and even overseas to buy the right veneer logs. They then slice them and glue to backing board. They have special requirements - no knots, splits or defects, certain lengths etc. Usually that means the best logs but I have found by the time I saw and store the timber I would have been better of selling the logs to veneer buyers. I then saw up what they leave behind.
Good point felix. Storing small quantities of high value.

I have been given LOTS and Lots of logs in exchange for clearing a 1000sqm house pad over the last twelve months and time has come to mill them and take them off were they currently live.

I can't store them as logs, ONLY as sawn timber or slabs. and have no option but to mill.

Basically it didn't rain logs a bit at a time, i.e. recieve order, cut and sell, but an absolute avalanche of logs estimated at over 150 log cube. with more on the way from local arborists and tree loppers.


Red Cedar
Cadaghi
White Cedar
Blackwattle

I plan to cut to expected sizes and for what I need re furniture and guitars, but its alot to do


If you were in this situation what would you do.

Call in a man with a good portable mill that can get the job done quickly and trade lumber for the work he did.

I bought a lucas, cheaper than hiring in, as doing that many logs will take months doing 3 logs a day loaded, milled, tailed out to a trailer, driven home and unloaded and sticked,.

BUT heaps of enjoyment to do this
