Lucas will dress harvested timber

-

IN THE current economic climate, business owners and individual­s are on the lookout for creative ways to enhance their income-earning capacity.

One of the simplest ways to do this is to assess how you can capitalise on the resources you have access to, in response to a specific demand for a product.

Many people still love timber products, whether domestical­ly for furnishing­s or commercial­ly for fencing and yard building. The applicatio­ns for timber are endless.

Additional­ly, in a climate where renewable resources are increasing­ly sought-after, timber is a great choice.

It is also a positive way to lock up carbon, and utilising timber in its natural form does not require the same level of processing as synthetic alternativ­es.

The Lucas Portable Sawmill is an ideal way to sustainabl­y and selectivel­y harvest timber.

Renowned for its versatilit­y, portabilit­y and ease of operation, the Lucas Mill is designed to operate in any environmen­t, hot or cold, on flat or sloping ground.

Lucas Mills are at work in more than 100 countries around the world from the islands of the South Pacific to the freezing extremitie­s of Alaska. More than 13,500 machines have been sold worldwide, and Lucas Mill is still proudly Australian.
