Demo Days

See What Your Timber Is Actually Worth

Across the UK, good timber is left standing, burnt, or sold off cheaply — not because it lacks value, but because most people don’t have access to the right equipment or knowledge to process it.

Our demo days are designed to change that.

This isn’t a showroom visit. This is a working environment where you’ll see exactly how a Peterson Sawmill performs — on real timber, in real conditions.

What to Expect

Live milling demonstrations on-site

Real-time log-to-board conversion

Honest breakdown of output, costs, and return

A clear understanding of what your timber can actually produce

Open discussion — no sales pitch, just straight answers

“Getting your hands on the machine that I know full well will compliment whatever it is you’re doing.”

— Jerry, Grantland Farm

You’re not watching a machine.
You’re seeing a different way of working with timber.

Group Size & Booking

Up to 5 people per session

Ideal for individuals, farms, estates, or small groups

Option to share the cost by attending together

Smaller groups mean better conversations, more time on the mill, and a clearer understanding of whether this works for you.

Who It’s For

  • Farmers looking to diversify income
  • Estate owners managing woodland
  • Contractors wanting to expand their services
  • Woodworkers and furniture makers looking to take control of their material supply and increase production speed

If you’re currently buying in timber, waiting on deliveries, or working around inconsistent stock — this shows you what changes when you produce your own.

Why This Matters

Timber was never meant to be a distant commodity. It was meant to be grown, managed, and used locally — creating value within the same communities it came from.

What you’ll see on these demo days isn’t just milling.
It’s how that connection gets rebuilt.

Locations

We operate across three demonstration sites in the UK, allowing you to attend a session that’s practical and local to you.

Each site reflects real working conditions — not staged environments.
