For over 50 years James Grezenski Forest Products has sawn hardwood lumber in north central Wisconsin. While things look a lot different in 2019, the pursuit of consistency in thickness has stayed the same. Evolving with the times and technology available, the small hardwood mill cuts random widths at a pace of 16-18MBF per day.

Right out of high school, Grezenski started logging part-time. In 1966, he made the decision to log full-time and after a few years of expansion, adding machines and employees to the logging business Grezenski saw the opportunity to put a small manual, wood frame, friction feed sawmill on the land behind his house in Stevens Point.
