Sawmill Upgrades & News
- Moose River Lumber sawmill has completed a couple major upgrade this summer/fall 2025 - including a new in-feed which separates and orientates the logs for both our saw lines: small log side - Hew Saw and also our large log side. Also completed in September is our brand new truck weight scales.
- Stratton Lumber has increased production and is now on 2 shifts at the sawmill. We hosted the Maine Tree Foundation Teachers Tour at Stratton this summer, where Teachers from all over Maine visited the sawmill, planer mill & dry kilns and learned how to identify spruce & fir and log scale to determine the board feet in each log.
The spruce/fir dimensional lumber market continues to be a challenge and we are hoping for an uptick in 2026.
