Can anyone tell me of a sawmill service in the Nothern Illinois area. Portable or stationary.

If you don't find someone closer, I do saw down in Illinois. The people I saw for couldn't find anyone or couldn't get anyone to return their call. Email me or send me a PM. My Email is jvogt@wi.rr.com. Or go to the home page of Forestry forum and click on my link Stumpys woodworks

I thought maybe you could help,,, seems you were already

Thanks guys. All those listed are pretty far south from me. The reason I asked was I wanted to buy a mill for my own use. But after thinking about it and doing some research I thought it might be a good idea to Mill part-time to help pay for the mill and maybee Make a little extra income.I cant seem to find anyone in this area that does this service so it might be a opportunity. Standby for more questions if you guys dont mind help me out.

You might want to also check with some of the bandsaw builders. I know that Woodmizer has a list of sawyers that own their mill. I think Timberking and Baker has the same thing.

I see a few mills in the Grayslake area, but they don't advertise their services that I have ever seen. One of the tree services has one and an excavator guy has one as well.
