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. Portable sawmills allow milling lumber anywhere trees are located. Hydraulic log handling makes the process easier but costs more. Smaller entry-level sawmills start around $3,000 but options can increase costs significantly. Used sawmills also provide good value and resale. Common projects milled from own trees include shooting houses, bridges, fences, hunting cabins, and more. The options are only limited by one's imagination and property needs. Maintenance mainly involves lubrication and blade changes. Sawmills are durable but occasional repairs may be needed which Woodmizer can assist with.
