Custom Sawmilling Services

Hugh MacInnis Lumber offers portable and mill-based custom sawmilling for landowners, builders, and hobbyists across Cape Breton. Whether you have logs on your property that need processing or you're looking for custom-dimensioned lumber for a building project, we can cut to your exact specifications.

Portable Sawmilling

Our portable sawmill comes to your site, saving you the cost and hassle of transporting logs. We set up on your property and mill your timber into boards, beams, timbers, or slabs — whatever your project calls for. This is an ideal option for landowners clearing a building site who want to put their own wood to use, or for anyone with downed trees worth more than firewood.

Mill-Based Cutting

For larger volumes or more precise dimensional cutting, we process logs at our yard near St. Ann's. We handle softwood and hardwood species native to Cape Breton, including spruce, fir, pine, maple, birch, and ash. Custom widths and thicknesses are no problem — from rough-sawn framing lumber to wide planks for furniture and finishing work.
