The yard is part of the buying process. Customers can schedule a visit, look through current stacks, and compare real boards before deciding.
About
A working Camptonville sawmill with practical answers.
Sierra Custom Lumber cuts rough-sawn lumber, timbers, slabs, and profile work from a hands-on yard in Camptonville, California, near Nevada City. The work is direct: talk through the job, look at real material, and choose the size, species, and finish that fit.
The yard is set up for people who need useful wood, not a showroom version of it. Some projects only need rough-sawn boards. Others need S4S, tongue and groove, a matched profile, or a walnut slab worth building around.
Rough-sawn value
The lumber is not planed smooth, but the carbide blade leaves a clean face for sawmill stock.
Cut for the job
Bring a cut list, rough sketch, photo, or target size and the conversation can move quickly toward species, dimensions, and pickup or delivery.
Walnut matters here
Walnut slabs and boards are a dedicated part of the yard, with pieces for tables, counters, flooring, and custom work.
How to buy
Bring the project, not a perfect spec sheet.
A good request can be simple: species, thickness, width, length, quantity, pickup or delivery, and whether rough-sawn is fine. For matching work, bring a sample or clear photo if you have one.
If the logs are on your property, mobile milling starts with how the logs are staged, site access, count, length, and diameter.
