I am looking for someone to mill two trees on my property in Bourne, MA. Anyone know of an outfit with a portable bandmill?
There is a saw mill in Falmouth off of Thomas Landers Road. He could likely handle them, but you need to be sure there are no nails in them or you will be paying to resharpen/replace some bigass sawblades. You also need to be ready and able to store the wood 2-5 years (first outdoors then indoors) to let it dry. What sort of trees? I'd guess it is uneconomical to mill your own unless they are valuable wood to start (such as Black Walnut).
