A sawmill and wood shop in Frankston, Texas

MakerForge turns local East Texas logs into air-dried slabs and lumber on our own mill, then mills them to size in our wood shop.

Welcome to MakerForge

We’re a sawmill and pro wood shop in Frankston. Our logs are local East Texas trees, many of them storm-downed, that we saw, sticker and air-dry ourselves.

Buy a slab that’s ready to go, order lumber cut to your sizes, or have rough stock jointed, planed and ripped to order. Pickup is at our Frankston sawmill or a meetup in Tyler, and freight is available for large palletized orders.
