About Us

The J Team is a sawmill and lumberyard operated by James Clarke while his twin brother operates Jay Clarke Portable Sawmill. We've been running mills since 2008, although we've been around mills for much longer.

 

We were born with sawdust in our veins, our mom and dad took us to buy their first sawmill with mom expecting, but certainly not expecting twins! We've been up to our elbows in sawdust ever since, spending many of our childhood summers with our parents at milling jobs or running around fairgrounds while they demonstrated the mill.

​

These days we don't get to run around as much, but we enjoy being around sawmills as much as ever. James is the head sawyer of The J Team and runs a top-of-the-line Wood-Mizer LT70 Super Wide sawmill. Jay now runs the portable sawmill operation himself, but he is also our resident engineer and frequently modifying his LT40 to offer greater capabilities.

​

With our experience and passion for milling, we aim to provide the best milling services around. James supplies beams to many local timber framers and takes great pride in supporting this local tradition.
