How AncesTREE Helps You Do More of What You Love

Reclaim Your Time


If you’re running a sawmill, you know there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of opening up a log to see what’s inside. That feeling of working with wood — the craft, the passion, the reason you started doing this in the first place.


But let’s be honest: managing inventory isn’t the part anyone looks forward to. Tracking logs, slabs or stacks of lumber, updating spreadsheets, trying to find where that stack of quarter sawn white oak went — it all takes time. Time you’d rather spend in the shop, by the mill, or with your family.


That’s where AncesTREE, the inventory management app for lumber, built for sawyers by sawyers, comes in.


Less Paperwork, More Sawdust

AncesTREE was created with one thing in mind: helping you spend less time behind a desk and more time doing what you love. This easy-to-use mobile app keeps your lumber organized — from log intake to finished product — all in the palm of your hand. No more clunky systems, no more lost notes, and no more wasted hours trying to track down a slab that’s already been sold.


Know What Sells, Cut Smarter

Whether every piece you mill is one-of-a-kind or multiples of the same cut —  AncesTREE helps you keep track of it all. By seeing what’s moving and what customers love most, you can make better decisions about which cuts to focus on next. Instead of guessing what will sell, you’ll have real data guiding your next project — saving you time, materials, and effort.


Get Your Evenings Back

With your inventory under control, you can wrap up the day knowing your numbers are right — and your weekends are free. That means more time for the things that matter: firing up the grill, spending time with family, or maybe just getting back to the woodshop because you want to, not because you have to.


Built for People Who Love Wood, Not Paperwork

You didn’t get into this work to wrestle with spreadsheets or confusing software. You did it because you love the craft — the grain, the smell, the satisfaction of creating something real. AncesTREE helps you keep that focus by making the business side simple, organized, and stress-free.


AncesTREE: Less time managing. More time making.
Because life’s better when you can spend it doing what you love — in the shop, not in the spreadsheets.
