TURNING TREES INTO USABLE TIMBER
When a tree comes down, the timber doesn’t have to go to waste. Saw milling allows logs to be cut into usable timber slabs or boards that can be repurposed for a wide range of projects.
Stump’d offers saw milling services that turn felled trees into valuable timber that can be used for landscaping, furniture, building projects, or decorative pieces. Instead of removing or disposing of the logs, milling allows you to keep the timber and give it a second life
what is saw milling?
Saw milling is the process of cutting logs into slabs or boards using a portable sawmill.
This allows large sections of timber to be cut on-site or prepared for use in projects such as:
Furniture making
Garden features
Retaining walls
Timber slabs for tables or benches
Building materials
Decorative timber pieces
Many trees contain beautiful natural grain patterns that can only be revealed once the timber is milled.
why mill your timber?
Milling timber from your own tree has several advantages.
Make Use of Valuable Timber - Instead of disposing of the tree, milling allows the timber to be reused for future projects.
Sustainable Option - Reusing timber reduces waste and gives the tree a second purpose.
Unique Timber Pieces - Timber milled from your own property can create unique slabs or boards with natural grain patterns that cannot be replicated.
Ideal for Projects - Milled timber can be used for:
Tables And Furniture
Outdoor Seating
Garden Structures
Landscaping Feature
portable milling
Portable saw milling means logs can often be milled closer to where the tree was removed, reducing the need to transport large sections of timber long distances.
This makes the process more practical for residential properties and lifestyle blocks where trees have been removed but the timber is still usable
types of timber that can be milled
Many types of trees can be milled into usable timber, depending on the condition and size of the logs.
Common examples include:
Macrocarpa
Pine
Eucalyptus
Oak
Other Large Hardwood Species

how the process works
Milling with a Lucas Mill 10–30 is a straightforward and efficient process.
Step 1 – Quote
Send details of your logs (photos, dimensions, species if known) along with your location for a quick estimate.
Step 2 – Setup
The mill is positioned on-site and aligned with the log. The setup allows for precise and flexible cutting, even in tight or remote access areas.
Step 3 – Milling
The log is milled into usable timber—slabs, beams, or boards—cut to your specified dimensions. Adjustments can be made throughout to suit your needs.
Step 4 – Finished Timber
The milled timber is stacked and ready for drying, building, or further processing. Slabs and offcuts can be left on-site or removed depending on your preference.
Once completed, you’re left with high-quality, custom timber ready for your next project.
