Turning Trees Into Beautiful Slabs of Wood & Furniture
Welcome to Wine Glass Bar Sawmill
When the tree service cuts down those overgrown, blown-down, or unwanted trees, please save the millable portion of the tree so it can be given a new life, “saved from the landfill!” When a tree no longer remains as an asset but is a liability, it should be removed, but it can be reused or recycled. Urban logging gives new life to old or unwanted trees. Instead of this wood being wasted or turned into firewood, chipped, or dumped, Wine Glass Bar Sawmill can turn these into beautiful, usable lumber.
Urban logging is saving trees, lowering the carbon footprint on imported lumber, and giving people a new chance to experience a story of where their wood came from, one tree at a time. It also is beneficial to the environment and the local economy, as well as being socially responsible.
We can mill logs up to 48" in diameter and 18' long. We have a 51" Cooks Band Saw and 29" Smith band saw along with a Nyle dehumidification kiln and a Slabmizer flattening table on site that can flatten up to 52x135" slabs. We mill live edge slabs, root ball and burl slabs, specialty dimensional lumber, wide plank hardwood, beams, and turning blanks.
Furniture Makers at the Sawmill
We have 3 talented furniture makers with woodshops on-site at the sawmill ready to consult with you about your table or installation project to help select the best hardwood wood slabs for your needs.
