Machine Work

We've been machining hardwood lumber since 1929, when L. L. and his son, Darrel bought our present plant in Charlotte, Michigan. Whether you need your order resawn, planed, ripped, sanded, glued into a panel, or run through our dowel machine, our experienced staff can handle it. We process enough lumber to cover two football fields everyday. It is not unusual for us to take your order, pull the lumber, machine it to your specs, and deliver it next day! Our shop is available from 7:30 am to 11:30 pm, Monday through Friday and 8:30 am to 4:00 pm on Saturdays.
Millwork charges apply to lumber purchased from L.L. Johnson Lumber Mfg. Co. All millwork orders on lumber acquired elsewhere is subject to inspection, and custom millwork charges.
