Mill Rough 


Bandsaw finished directly from the mill, no further finish required. It's a rougher texture and size can vary +/- 1/8 inch. Marks from the processing and handling could be visible.  When you want a more "rustic finish" this should be your choice.

Surfaced four Sides


This finish is a planned or surfaced finish, (not sanded) and accurately sizes the timber at the time it goes  through the planer. Maximum size we can surface is 24" x 24". Note that after surfacing timber will shrink depending on the climate and the moisture content of the timber over a period of time.

Resawn Rough


This finish is a finer rough texture done after the timber has been cut by the mill in order to size the timber to the size required, and clean up any marks from the handling process of the mill or dry kiln. Timbers can be resawn either from green timber, but mostly we do it after the timber has been kiln dry.

Circle Sawn


This finish is achieved for cutting with a large circle saw sawmill cut directly from the mill. Similar to Mill Rough, it is a rougher texture and can very in size +/- 1/4 inch. Marks from handling at the mill will be visable and add to the rustic appearance of the timber.
