About Wayne

Walnut is "King." Saw Logs To Lumber has been stocking walnut since I got my first Woodmizer Lumber mill 30 years ago. I am a Master Sawyer with Woodmizer. I can supply you with any wood native to Missouri. After reading "the soul of a Tree" by George Nakashima, I changed how I cut wood. I quartersaw, bole cut, book match, and retain the live edge. I can feel what is in the wood. As your Sawyer, I'm a tree whisper. I can bring the tree back to life as a piece of heirloom furniture. I have over 80,000 board feet of wood. I cut wood to relax. I retired from Boeing as one of their tech reps. One day, it was no longer fun.

I have cut walnut table slabs for Bass Pro, and several members of the Busch Family. I got the wood, and I will share this hoard for the first time. I also have staff that can produce live-edge masterpieces in walnut, cherry, oak, mulberry, black locust. You can even pick your log, and we will mill it to your specs. You can even help. I got started in woodworking by building a wooden boat when I was 13 years old. I borrowed my dad's tractor, ploughed a garden for $5. When I had no money, my father sent me back with the tractor and trailer "Come back with something," I returned with a Funky saw and lumber. I build Canoes, Boats, and Paddles - All Wood.

 

My name is Wayne - Means Wain Wright- Master Wood Worker.
