Custom Milling
Custom Milling for Your Lumber Needs
We’re proud to be one of the few companies in San Diego that have a custom mill. For contractors, architects, and commercial business owners, we now provide milling and resaw services. Our saws are designed to cut used wood boards and beams lengthwise, and our custom blades can cut everything that you might need - even cutting your lumber down to the thickness of a sheet of paper. If you love the reclaimed look, but prefer fresh lumber, we can mill that for you as well.
Our Custom Milling Services
We offer a wide range of milling services. That means we can cut wood down to a specific size, create corbels for patios, shelves, roofs, or mantels, shape circles for tabletops, mill tongue and groove or shiplap treatments for siding, and just about anything else you can think of.
01.
Resurfacing
Is your wood looking a little worn? You don’t have to settle for wear and tear as the standard. Let us help you breathe life back into your pieces by resurfacing them. This involves grinding down uneven boards, reinforcing wood planks with new nails, and refinishing the top layer. Resurface your wood into a show-stopper.
02.
Tongue & Groove
We can also mill tongue and groove to seam boards together. Tongue and groove is a method of fitting planks together edge to edge to interlock. It is primarily used in high quality boards in flooring and panelling. If the material is thicker, several tongue and grooves may be required.
03.
Shiplap
Shiplap is characterized by its long planks, mounted horizontally with a minimal gap in between. Early shipbuilding methods used a form of shiplap to build the hulls of ships to make them watertight. Today, the trend is alive and well, and many love the functionality and appearance of shiplap-style boards.

Crown Molding
Crown molding gives your wall that finishing touch to help bring the entire room together in a sophisticated way. Our state-of-the-art saw can cut the wooden crown molding of your dreams, whether it’s a simple style or a more intricate, decorative option. Give your walls the crown molding they deserve.
05.
Custom Corbels
A custom corbel might just be the perfect way to add a bit of elegance to your space. An architectural element used to support the weight of shelves, counters, doorways, and roofs, corbels are most often made from wood, stone, or plaster. From corbels for shelves, patios, and mantels, we can create a custom design that will elevate the entire room.

Custom Patterns
Have a unique pattern idea? We can create any specific type of pattern with a variety of different woods, including mahogany, beech, gum, bass, loblolly pine, ash, cedar, ponderosa pine, spalted maple, and douglas fir. The sky’s the limit when it comes to your vision.
