On thirty acres just north of Orlando, the Mahaffeys run a working sawmill — turning storm-fallen oak, camphor, cypress & heart pine into live-edge slabs, mantels, and custom lumber that nobody else around here is making. We’re also a tree-debris drop site for Central Florida’s tree services and landscapers.
Live-edge slabs, hand-picked mantels, and custom milled lumber from Florida hardwoods we cut and dry on site.
A working drop site for Central Florida tree services and landscapers. Hardwood, brush & logs welcome — fair tipping rates, fast in & out.
Most lumber yards buy what they sell. We don’t. Every slab in our barn was a Florida tree we milled ourselves — a process that takes months from saw to your project.
Storms, lightning, land-clearing. Tree services across Central Florida bring us logs other yards can’t handle.
Our sawmill cuts each log to expose the figure. Live edge, bookmatched pairs, dimensional lumber — your call.
Air-dried, then kiln-finished to stable moisture. We don’t rush a slab — wet wood ruins projects.
Walk the lot with us. Run your hand on it. Take home a slab nobody else in Florida has.
T.O. Mahaffey Tree & Timber was started by Tom Mahaffey in 2019 — a small-batch sawmill on family land outside Apopka. Today it’s run by Tom, his wife Julie, and their daughter Katie — co-owner, third Mahaffey on the gate, and the one who’ll carry the mill into its next chapter.
Katie grew up in this yard. She knows the saw, the kiln, and the difference between a camphor with character and one that’ll cup on you — because she’s been around it her whole life. When you call, you might talk to Tom, you might talk to Katie. Either way, you’re talking to a Mahaffey.
That’s the difference. Every slab here was milled by someone whose name is on the gate — and we’re proud to put our family name on every piece that leaves it.
A grandfather’s oak. A storm-fallen camphor in the front yard. A pecan from the family farm. We mill logs other yards turn away — and we’ll cut it the way you want it cut.
Send us a photo and rough dimensions. We’ll quote it the same week.
