Do It Yourself Wood Processing Options for Landowners

Stop letting good logs go to waste. Join the Illinois Forestry Association and Illinois Extension Forestry for a hands-on demonstration of small-scale options for turning logs into usable lumber. We’re breaking down the pros and cons of milling at various price points, such as:

• The Chainsaw Mill: Portable, affordable, and perfect for remote logs.
• Hobby Sawmills: Stepping up your production and precision.

Beyond the blades, we’ll dive into the aftercare that makes or breaks your wood — lumber drying and storage best practices. Whether you're building a shed or a dining table, start your journey here.
