LX150 Portable Sawmill

Karl Neubauer built Hollerhorn Distilling in Naples, NY using salvaged timber he milled on his Wood-Mizer sawmill—the same tool that's been central to his 20-year career as a builder, sculptor, and distiller. When fire destroyed the building in 2022, the Finger Lakes community rallied to help him rebuild, proving that his distillery had become more than a business—it was a community hub.

Charles Singleton, a resident of Butler, Georgia, transformed trees downed by an EF1 tornado into a 1,280-square-foot dovetail cabin. Over the course of three years, Charles used his Wood-Mizer sawmill to process various woods, culminating in a stunning finished product you have to see.

In this episode of The Wood Life Podcast, host Dustin Moore visits Ken Postma, the driving force behind a remarkable wooden car project.

Ken Postema, My Wood-Mizer Project Contest award-winner and woodworker from Michigan, USA uses his Wood-Mizer portable sawmill and planer/moulder to build tens of thousands of wooden toy cars for Operation Christmas Child.

For over 30 years, David Linton has been revealing the hidden beauty of Australia’s unique timbers. With his Wood-Mizer LT40 and RazorTip blades, he mills rare species like Blackwood, Bunya Pine, and Red Cedar into tonewoods prized by guitar makers worldwide. “The colours, the figure, the surprises inside — it’s mind-blowing,” David says. His careful process — air-drying for years before finishing — ensures that every log is treated with patience and respect. The result: timber that travels from Maleny’s forests to global stages in the form of world-class instruments.
