Tree-trunk transport

[Tetrarch]

I have 5 large pieces of a cherry tree that fell done in 2021. I'd like to make a new mantle above the fireplace from the largest piece and maybe some shelving boards from the remainder

I have found a local sawmill but I don't know what service I need to search for to get a flatbed lorry with a grabber that can transport a couple of tonnes of wood less than 15 miles

Any advice gratefully received

Regards

Gary

Portable sawmill, there are firms that will come out and process it on site. Ask local tree surgeons if they have an Alaskan sawmill.

Reminds me of the time someone went to pick up a 5ft tree trunk with the pick up for a garden sculpture. No problem loading it at the yard, but that someone had completely forgot about unloading it at the other end of the journey.

That was my first thought. They seem to be thin on the ground. I've gone local as I can then visit to discuss with the wood at the yard without having to make early irrevocable decisions
