My neighbor had a cedar tree cut down. T'was a surprise to everyone on

sections of trunk-- roughly eight feet long, and about a foot and a
quarter in diameter-- with me.

So now I need someone with a sawmill to come out and slice'em into
boards for my future nefarious use. (Okay, I made the decision very,
very qukckly. It was grab the trunks, or watch'em get Graveley'd into
hamster chips.)

Any recommendations? Estimated cost?

Firstly, it will not be worth it for someone with a portable saw to
come out for one or two small logs. If someone will come out they
will have to charge you a minimum fee plus hourly to do it. It may be
more than the few boards are worth. Most folk vastly over estimate
the value of the lumber in their logs. Also if you are in the inner
city, there may not even be room to park and set up the saw. They are
rather large.

Having said all that, you can contact the Wood-Mizer corporation.
They are the largest manufacturer of portable sawmills and they make
it their business to refer potential customers to local sawyers. Here
is their information.
