Custom & Mobile Milling

We have several mills to handle a variety of log sizes and project requirements, as well as a mobile mill that we can transport to your job site.

We have an old-fashioned Circular Sawmill which makes lumber with the long arc cut marks that was standard on lumber milled between the 1860's and 1950's. For anyone wanting a vintage or historical look for a project, tasting room or in their home, this mill is the tool for the job.

We have a custom-ordered and built Timberking® band mill that muscles through logs up to 32" in diameter and 24' long. This sawmill has a computer setworks option that allows us to make repetitive, identical lumber. This special mill sets us apart from other mills with the extra long deck and the computer setworks.

Milling your timber at your location is not a problem. We can come in, fell the trees, skid them to a landing, mill the lumber from your cut list, stack it, sticker the stack and steel band the stacks. We will have it ready for you to move to the job site or storage. If you just have a few logs, we can transport them to our mill site.

However, in most cases, it will be cheaper and more efficient to do milling work in our fully-equipped mill yard, but please discuss with us your needs so that we can do the best work possible to fit your wants and needs.

Log Skidding and Arch Work

We have all the heavy equipment to tackle any job. We pride ourselves in executing a good strategy and logging with minimal impact to your land. We are not an old-fashioned “hack and slash” operation. Using a logging bulldozer with a winch and arch minimizes the equipment footprint” on your land. Creston Sawmill combines old-fashioned work ethic with present day low-impact harvesting.

Off-Road Recovery, Winching

We have bulldozers in six, ten, and twenty-ton to help recover your equipment. Each of our logging bulldozers is equipped with a winch to quickly and safely get your equipment out of the mud.

Long and Short Log Trucking

Creston Sawmill has its own logging trucks to move your timber to our facility for milling or other destinations. Our long log truck is used for hauling saw logs to a commercial mill or delivery of stream bed restoration logs to the job site. Our short log truck is equipped with a loader and can move your deck of logs without the need for a second piece of equipment.
