"Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky..."     Kahlil Gibran

At the Mill & Kiln we look at trees a bit differently than most. When we see a tree that is dead or dying, we see endless possibilities. From the first moment we expose the grain, our team of woodworkers decide what would the best use be to capture the natural beauty of the tree that lay before us. The Mill & Kiln initially started as a Habitat for Humanity project for urban wood. The " Rescued Wood " is being used in projects all over the State. We are a small boutique Mill and Kiln. We work hard to insure that no part of the tree is discarded.  A proud supporter of the Wisconsin Urban Wood movement,  we work with only vulnerable trees which have been damaged by insects, diseases or unavoidable circumstances. They are rescued and re-purposed.

Our Clients

The logs we work with come from many different places. We have a steady supply of Ash due to the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer. We also receive wood that has been diseased , damaged or removed for circumstances beyond control. Individuals are welcome to bring their wood to the Mill. We do not offer pick up or delivery services.

 


​Highly Skilled Craftsmen

This water cooled band saw fits logs of 28 inches in diameter and up to 12' long. Dropped in off the magazine by hand, the log rests on the carriage as the blade smoothly runs over the log exposing the variations of grain with each pass.
