Sawmill & Lumber

 

Harden History

Harden Sawmill is a Texas family owned and operated business. Brothers Jeff and Jeremy Harden moved to Denton from DeKalb, Texas to attend the University of North Texas. After graduating, they partnered to start their first business in 2007. They have since worked diligently to establish the art of exceptional wood work. From sawmill to finished product, both are involved in the hands on, daily operations and take great pride in what they have accomplished in the “wood world”. Drop by and let us “wow” you with some of the beautiful creations inspired by the Hardens.

If we are trimming your logs to fit on the mill and hit metal with our chainsaw, then a chain damage fee may apply at the current rate of chain per length damaged.

**** Loading, unloading, trim rate and log handling time will be the same as the rate of milling on the respective sawmill.

KILN DRYING SERVICES

Slabs and Lumber are kiln dried to remove moisture so that your wood is more stable to work with for your projects. Before going into the kiln, the wood must be packed so that is receives air around the entire piece of wood. It is then dried at the rate of 1 inch of thickness per month.

PACKING COSTS: .50 Per Board Foot

KILN DRYING COSTS: .50 Per Board Foot , Per Month

***MINIMUN BOARD FOOTAGE FOR OUR KILN - 400 Board Feet

MILLING INFORMATION

The term sawlog is a log of suitable size for sawing into lumber or slabs, processed at a sawmill. This is in contrast to those other parts such as the limbs and stems which are designated as pulpwood. Sawlogs will be greater in diameter, straighter and have a lower knot frequency (i.e. fewer limbs on the sawlog section).

No limbs will be accepted as sawlogs, no matter how large the diameter.

No log shorter than 8’ on the WM1000 or shorter than 6’ on the WM70.

No log less than 12” in diameter on the small end on either saw. 

If any foreign material (wire, nails, conduit, plastics, ceramic insulators….) is present and noticeable in/on the log we will not cut the log. Metal in some species will stain the wood and will be noticeable on the end cut(s) as a black stain, this is also included in the “we will not cut catagory”.

PLEASE NOTE!

HARDEN HAS THE FINAL DECISION ABOUT WHAT WE WILL CUT. LIMBS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. ROTTEN MATERIAL/LOGS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SAW LOG MUST BE TAKEN BACK WITH YOU, OR THERE WILL BE A DISPOSAL FEE.

SEE EXAMPLES BELOW:

These are NOT saw logs

PICTURE 1 IS GETTING CLOSER AND WILL WORK AS A SAW LOG / PICTURES 2 & 3 ARE CONSIDERED ACTUAL SAW LOGS

If you are thinking about milling a log, please consider:

  1. Cutting the log down before it dies will greatly increase your odds of getting GOOD material out of the log.

  2. A dead tree/log is probably rotten and will not make good lumber or slabs.

  3. The longer a log lays on the ground, the more likely it is to decay and not be worth cutting.
