Nelson Company Listing #98   Listed on: 02/22 Nelson sawmill was opened in 2004 as a way to utilize the valuable hardwoods & softwoods being wasted by local municipalities,tree services,construction companies and landowners. I am an urban logger and do what I can to keep logs from going to the landfill/being burned/put in a tub grinder by sawing them into a usable wood product be they raw materials or finished products from my wood shop.

Part of a load of walnut that was piled up on a bridge construction job to be BURNED. There was more, I saved them the trouble of burning it, I hauled it all home.   A shot of some 18" wide walnut on the mill from the logs above.   After some chainsaw work it was not too big for my little manual mill.   I managed to get a few small live edge slabs off the redbud log.   A walnut stump on the mill for gun stock material.   I also milled some book matches from the same ugly little log.   More "burn pile" wood. I came across a hedgerow that was bulldozed and piled in a wash for 2 years. This Osage Orange milled very nicely.   Here is the lumber that came out of that "firewood" tree. 24" wide and highly figured.   I work with many tree services to get the "ugliest" trees they cut. This is a little redbud log that is just burl on top of burl.   A maple log delivered by the city to clear a vacant lot. They had tried to get someone to cut it for firewood, but it was "too big" no one wanted it.   A future wood working project. A couple boards from an eastern red cedar a tree service removed and I milled.   Another woodworking project of mine from salvaged logs. A white oak bench from a tree removed at a local park.   A patio set I made from black locust and white oak that was removed for the construction of a barn.

Schmid Viewer Comments: Posted By: William Gernert     [02/27] Do you have any of the walnut or curly maple left? I would need enough to build my daugher a large blanket chest and a highboy for my wife.
