Why Custom Sawmilling Makes Sense for Your Project

Get more value from your timber with on-site Wood-Mizer milling in Douglas, ON.

If you have logs — from land clearing, storm damage, or a woodlot harvest — custom sawmilling turns raw timber into usable lumber at a fraction of retail cost. Here's why Ottawa Valley property owners choose Andrews for milling.

1. You Control the Dimensions

Big-box lumber comes in standard sizes. Our Wood-Mizer cuts exactly what you need — custom widths for wide-plank flooring, extra-thick timbers for a timber-frame accent, or live-edge slabs for a dining table.

2. Significant Cost Savings

Retail lumber markup is substantial. When you mill your own logs — or buy logs locally and have us mill them — you typically save 40-60% compared to store-bought dimensional lumber.

3. Fresh, Local Wood

Lumber shipped from hundreds of kilometres away has already started drying unevenly. Fresh-milled local pine and cedar is straighter, easier to work, and better suited to our climate.
