J&S Services Sawmill specialising in milling Larch, Cedar and Douglas fir to any size our customers want

Small scale sawmill specialising in milling custom size Larch, Douglas and Western Red cedar. Uses for our timber can range from cladding buildings such as sheds, pods and even houses. We can supply beams, boards and posts to any size you require and in any quantity from 1 board through to several thousand. Turnaround time for most orders is within 2 weeks, but we do work hard to get timber ready for reasonable deadlines

Keep a regular eye on our page as we often have special offers on wavey edge cladding, 2nd quality boards and various other bits that don't quite hit the quality control pass mark

Been a busy time at the mill, after getting in the stunning, locally sourced, European Larch loads into the yard there then came the opportunity to get an even closer load of Western Red Cedar; this time from less than a couple of miles up the road.
My wee pals, the woodwasps, have made themselves at home over the past week, not sure the change in weather will see as many of them this week
The larch has found its way to Mull, London, Seil, and Tiree already, being used for fencing, cladding, bar tops and shed roof rafters

Loads of 4.9m and 6.1m 90 yr old larch came into the yard yesterday. From the day I went to look at this stand (just a few miles up the road) I had a feeling it would be absolute best quality. Grown on level ground and well sheltered from the wind it should hold no tension surprises, but with larch there are no guarantees

The first log went onto the mill this afternoon and it didn’t disappoint. No tension and no knots, just beautiful tight grain pattern.
The next few logs will be milled as decking for a very patient customer. He knows wood and should be very happy

Always good to see what customers do with their wood after getting me to mill it for them
Here's a few shots of a beech log I was asked to mill for a local holiday park two years ago. And the last two shots are what they have turned it into for their latest addition to the park

Another break from cutting thin boards
Today was spent cutting 9”x3”x20’ joists. Not much to photograph, but always good when a larch log stays straight and yields 7 joists.
Back to the thin cladding boards again tomorrow

After having a few days at milling big timber beams and posts it was back to the thinner cladding today. If only all larch behaved as well as today's logs did.

A pleasant change today; milling some lovely Cedar from a nearby estate. They're wanting it milled into 8" & 10" boards that will replace window sills. Always a bonus with homegrown cedar when it's as clear of knots as this one
