I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at. Just because I don’t deal with the sawmill every week doesn’t mean I should give up on it. That’s what the professionals are for, who do it daily. Do I understand correctly that the long timber supplier dries his goods whole for 3 years and then the sawmill processes it? And did you mean felling and then immediately sawing and drying for 3 years?

Then you don’t need to wait that long until the wood is dry enough. Then maybe three to 12 months are enough, depending on the type of wood and the type of cut (beams or boards, for example).

I sawed my entire timber frame construction including the roof truss, battens, and boards myself. That was about 33 cubic meters of beams sawn. I bought 95 slow-grown spruce logs, each 18 meters long, from an altitude of about 500 meters. Then I had them delivered to the roundwood yard and removed the bark using a Schwarzwälder bark spud. That took about a month. After that, I dried the logs outdoors for one year before sawing them. If you don’t remove the bark, the logs won’t dry and the blue stain fungus will eat the wood away.

If you are interested in how something like this is done properly, then read the textbooks by Fritz Kress. The man knew his carpentry.
