Sawmilling
At John’s Urban Timber, we provide in-house saw milling services with one of four different sawmills.
At our Whitmore Lake workshop, we transform locally reclaimed or customer-supplied logs into premium slabs, beams, and boards—never outsourcing a single step.
Custom Milling Services:
- In-house – logs milled up to 60" in diameter at our Whitmore Lake shop.
- Custom log services – bring your own logs, or we can source reclaimed wood for you.
- Made-to-order lumber – slabs and boards prepared to your specifications.
- Sustainable sourcing – no commercial harvesting; only reclaimed or customer-supplied logs.
Custom Milling Services
Every board begins with a reclaimed or personally harvested log, not commercially cut timber.
We handle the entire process — from sawing and surfacing to stacking and drying — with precision and care.
Most slabs are milled at 2½″–3″ thick and finished to a smooth 1⅞″–2½″ surface, ready for planing, sanding, or joinery.
Your logs, your story — milled to perfection.

From live-edge slabs and beams, every cut is guided by craftsmanship and respect for the wood.
