Milling

Milling your lumber – jointing, planing and rough cutting to size – can be the first step in ensuring the success of your project. However, milling equipment is expensive, large, and can be difficult to maintain. It takes practice and skill to use these machines safely and to get the best results. We can mill your rough lumber for you at a rate of $75/hr with a minimum of $75.

Please note:

  • Lumber/Plywood must be purchased through The Woodworkers Club
  • Additional flattening, gluing, sizing, shaping, etc. of hardwood lumber and slabs  is priced per job (see Carpentry Project pricing above)
