Custom sawing at our sawmill

We cut material from logs available to Bloom & Buzz. This is not a mobile sawmill service, and we do not bring the mill to customer properties.

Start with the project and rough dimensions. We confirm material, feasibility, drying expectations, preparation, and price before a quote is accepted. Accepted jobs use a non-refundable production deposit.

Not sure which wood to choose?

Choose “I'm not sure yet” and tell us what matters for the project. Availability and an appropriate species can be reviewed together.

How would you like the lumber supplied?
What do these preparation choices mean?

Rough sawn keeps the mill-sawn surface. Planed to thickness makes thickness more consistent where material fits our planer. Jointed + planed adds a flattened reference face/edge where the piece fits our jointer. If you only know the finished size you need, choose “I'm not sure” and describe the project.

What does 8/4 mean?

Rough lumber thickness is often described in quarters of an inch. 4/4 is about 1 inch rough; 6/4 about 1½ inches; 8/4 about 2 inches. You do not need to know this terminology to submit a request.

What's a board foot?

A board foot measures lumber volume. You do not need to calculate it; this calculator does it for you.

Add at least one size to evaluate the request.

What's a live edge?

The natural outer edge of the tree remains on one or both sides instead of being cut straight.

What does air dried mean?

Lumber is dried gradually with airflow rather than used fresh from the mill. Final suitability depends on moisture and intended use.

How should we contact you about the quote?
Custom jobs require a non-refundable percentage deposit after quote acceptance.We first confirm suitable logs, feasibility, preparation, final pricing, and the deposit amount. Paying the deposit commits material and a production slot to your job.
