Owner Success Stories Norwood Sawyers Are Building Legacies

ONE COUPLE’S PROFITABLE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SAWMILL JOURNEY

Rose Forestry of upstate New York is a forward-thinking family business that sees, and unlocks, the tremendous value in natural resources missed by most everyone else. Using their Norwood LumberPro HD36, their business has two “divisions”: Firstly, they custom-saw on contract for others. Secondly, they have a storefront for woodworkers and craftsmen that they stock with unique slabs and boards milled from salvaged wood and sustainably-grown timber.

AN INVESTMENT IN FAMILY... AND IN LEGACY.

"We’ve created numerous pieces of furniture, gifts, crafts and spare firewood for our family and friends. But what makes my wife and I the most pleased with our investment is the lessons and memories it has created with our 3 kids. They have developed an interest in working and creating with their hands. Being outside, building, learning and working together has brought us closer together."

MY SAWMILL EXPERIENCE DOWN UNDER

"I always bought timber, as it was my only source. As my job progressed, and when I had access to a farm in 2004, I started to dabble in milling with a small chainsaw mill. It was so satisfying to turn what was just a log doomed to be burned as firewood, into something I could use. I used the posts and beams I cut to build a few sheds."

The evening I called Phil, he had just come in after such an evening of sawmilling in -20 C (-4 F) degree weather.
