Portable sawmills in Morris County, NJ area

[Michael Colville]

I am interested in having some storm damaged trees milled and would like to find some portable sawmill operators in northern NJ to get quotes from.  The trees include a large red oak, a beech, and a tulip poplar.  I would also like information on the general costs to have a portable sawmill come to the site.  These trees are long and straight, and vary from about 16" to 30" in diameter, so I think they would make good lumber for woodworking.

Thanks

Hi Michael, sorry to here about all of the troubles you folks have dealt with.  I am too far away to be of any help at all, however, reading your post got me to thinking.  There are many folks with blown down trees, and the time, and travel cost to evaluate each one would be staggering.  I thought if you guys with down timber could get an accurate talley on what is laying, including quality, and the such, it might  help on getting someone to take a closer look.  Not sure if this was to be used for your own use, and really it would be a great way to keep the heritage of the event in a positive way.  The forum has a tool bar that enables many functions on log calculations, and boardfootage. Just a thought, I know the work ahead of you folks, having gone through  and F-2, on our place.  Just devastating,    David

I would suggest that you might run an ad in your local trading paper.  In my area we have tha "Trading Post" Vermont has the "Penny Saver"  ,  Im sure you may have one in your area.   Craigs List is a powerful tool for just such a need as yours as well.  Good luck and welcome to the Forum.  You will own a mill of your own before you know it!!!     Pete Chesapeake, Virginia.

     Michael, check the "Find-A-Database" at the top of the page.  There are several portable sawyers listed in New Jersey.
