Stop letting good logs go to waste! Join the Illinois Forestry Association and Illinois Extension for a hands-on look at turning your backyard trees 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.
