What do you have to do to make money milling your own lumber?

For Clay, it’s meant providing live-edge slabs and other materials for his custom furniture, but also milling up timber for others as he gets a return on investment from his portable sawmill.

Woodland Mills has launched a new series of videos talking with small business owners and entrepreneurs about how they make money from their mill.

Clay is the owner and operator of Oakmond Design, a custom furniture business where no two pieces are ever alike. He bought his HM130MAX to mill materials for his projects, but found once he had the mill there were multiple ways to make money he never originally imagined.

If you’re looking to start your own wood milling service, sell live-edge slabs, cut and sell your own lumber or make money from your portable sawmill in any other way you can think of, Clay has some great advice.
