From East Texas log to air-dried slab

The mill

Every slab and board we sell starts as a local East Texas log, many of them storm-downed, and is sawn on our Wood-Mizer LT40 under the shed in Frankston.

Because we cut it ourselves, you buy straight from the people who sawed it, and we can cut to the thickness, width and length you need.
