  1. Hello this is Daniel Scofield. I am the advertising and marketing manager for Custom Cut Lumber. We have a sawmill and also a planner shop Custom Cut MillWork. I would be interested in being added here as a source for hardwood lumber. We serve hundreds of customers a year and supply oak trailer decking and hardwood slabs, flooring, cabinet wood and more.
    We have facilities in Alto, Texas and Wells, Texas

  2. Greetings, Eric. This is a great resource for folks. I founded and operate the Texas Urban Sawmill near Austin, TX and would love to be added. We operate 100% electric sawmills, are focused on being carbon neutral in our operations, and all our lumber is produced locally from fallen and rescued trees that would have otherwise been part of the waste stream. We offer one of the most sustainable forms of genuine Texas lumber available. Uniquely, we also produce kiln dried lumber directly for our clients from their own fallen or harvested trees. We are focused on offering locally produced lumber and timber products which support our local economies and the Texas job market. In fact, we donate a portion of our lumber to the Habitat for Humanity Austin ReStore and 50% of those funds go to the Texas A&M Forest Service for tree planting under a unique Wood Innovations Project that we were awarded from the USDA Forest Service. We are a unique sawmill and lumber supplier paving the way in Texas into the urban, rescued and salvaged wood industry. So if folks want uniquely Texas, we are here to help!
