About Us
Moore Timber Co. is a small-scale sawmilling business based near Elgin, Moray. We sell a range of hardwood and softwood timber and provide a mobile milling service. We are committed to creating a localised timber market where trees are felled, processed, and put to use all within the local area. We work with foresters and tree surgeons to obtain a diverse range of high-quality timber; on the other end of the market, we work closely with craftsmen and women to tailor our products to the needs of professionals and DIYers alike.
“The aim of the company is to increase the value of Scottish timber, and thereby support the growing of productive woodlands for generations to come.”
Our Sawmill
The sawmill is a Woodmizer LT20, with a 6.1 meter-long bed and a 60cm cut. With a bit of chainsaw wizardry, however, any log can be processed by our trusty little mill.
The LT20 has a trailer bed, and a bandsaw on a carriage, and is powered by a diesel engine. This means that it is completely mobile. On the side of the bed is a set of lifting forks, which are connected to a hydraulic hand pump that can lift whatever log you can fit onto the saw bed. The forks enable the mill to work independently, without the need for any extra lifting equipment.
