Milling Around

"The idea behind our company is giving a new life to old trees, and we're one of five sawmills in the country on this level, with a Woodmaster 1000 that can handle logs this size," says Sarah Duryea of Berkshire Products Specialty Lumber. "We purchase logs that would otherwise be disposed of. Only about a tenth of what we have in stock is on the website; we have four buildings full of dry, sanded flat slabs. About ten thousand pieces, and each one is different; what one customer sees as a flaw, another falls in love with."
