Live edge slabs & lumber from our Frankston, TX sawmill
MakerForge turns local East Texas logs into air-dried slabs and lumber on our own mill, then mills them to size in our wood shop. We also offer custom sawing to order: your logs sawn to your thickness and width on our LT40 Super Hydraulic. Contact for a quote.
