About Us

Built with passion

"Northern Michigan Live Edge Co." was established in 2017 and no longer considered a hobby but a full time sustainable business. At NM Live Edge we strive to produce product with 100% salvaged trees and stumps. Our commitment to recycle dead, diseased, or storm damaged trees has allowed us the privilege to provide consumers very unique slabs of wood along with hand crafted finished pieces our clients can enjoy for generations to come. We carefully hand select each log we mill, we don't buy in bulk and it’s our belief this process leaves a minimal impact on our forested lands.

Not your typical sawmill

Our mission is not one of a typical sawmill! With our commitment to using recycled trees we can offer a low cost solution for your next tree removal (See our "Services" tab). This is a win-win for everyone, we can re-purpose your problem tree and save you money with the tree service expenses plus you receive gratification knowing your trees will receive new life for several years to come. In the field we handle each tree with care when they are removed, loaded, and hauled to our mill where we transform the trees into usable Live Edge slabs. Our process also allows NM Live Edge the ability to go from raw log to beautiful finished products such as kitchen islands, counter tops, mantles, bar tops, tables and so much more to be installed. If you can think it we can help design and build it.

For fun

During our down time when were not busy cutting, sanding, routering or building, our favorite way to pass time is simply spending it in Northern Michigan woods. We love exploring our vast natural surroundings, whether it's a trek through the backwoods or a stroll along Lake Michigan’s shore line, we always seem to find that refreshing solitude and often coming home with little prized tokens of nature we’ve collected along the way.
