Murfreesboro is as beautiful as it is historical. Outsiders might not realize just how important of a city Murfreesboro is, but it has a significant connection to the American Civil War. And yet there is more to the city's historical side than just a massive battle. The city is highlighted by buildings dating back hundreds of years. There is history around just about every corner. With all of this put together, it's an incredible town to call home. If you own property here in Murfreesboro and you're interested in clearing away timber from the lot, you have a few options with what to do with the cut-down trees. First, you can pay someone to haul off the timber, mulch it and spread the tree around your property, cut it into small pieces and use it for firewood, or cut the wood down to size and sell it as usable lumber.
If you're interested in making money off the cut-down timber and have a sizable number of trees removed from your plot of land, renting out a lumber mill in Murfreesboro, TN, is a desirable option to consider. And, with the help of Bloodhound Lumber & Land, you have access to all the sawmills in Murfreesboro, TN, the equipment you might need.
Is a Sawmill Right For You?
If you have one or two trees to cut down into lumber, it might not be all that beneficial for you to rent out a sawmill. However, if you have an entire plot of land with dozens of trees you've cut down (or more), a sawmill can be an exceptional financial option.
With a sawmill, you can choose the desirable lumber size and cut your timber down. Once the wood is cut down to size, you have two options. You can either try to sell green lumber to a local lumber yard or dry it out and then sell it once the timber is dried out (green lumber is simply lumber that still has moisture inside it).
Dried-out lumber is more desirable to lumber yards, although in certain cases, a lumber yard might still be willing to purchase the green lumber from you.
In order to dry out the wood, our team here at Bloodhound Lumber & Land can help you out. We have a vacuum kiln set up, which will dry out the wood with the kiln's heat, but the vacuum feature will pull moisture out of the wood, which speeds up the drying process. It can take traditional wood well over a year (or more) to dry out, while with a kiln and vacuum setup, this dry time can be cut down to a few weeks. So, while you will need to pay an upfront fee for the kiln dry lumber and wait a few weeks, you will likely receive a greater return on your timber.
Prepping Your Timber
Before your wood can be used in a sawmill, it is important to make sure the wood is of a high enough quality to be used in the mill. There's no reason to pay money to rent out equipment if the wood is of poor quality. A member of our Bloodhound Lumber & Land staff can do this. We can also run a metal detector over the wood to identify any metal lodged in the wood that can damage sawmill blades.
