Timber milling was undertaken since logging operation started in the 1930s’ when international companies operated in the Solomon Islands. These were established permanent sawmills that produce sawn timber mainly for local needs. It was continued in successive decades however, on a reduced scale with few companies in Guadalcanal and Western Provinces mainly to supply the local market. In the 1980s’, local resource owners started to do small scale milling with chainsaw mainly for own building needs and local sales. The introduction of Portable mills in 2000 increased Timber Milling activities mainly done by Resources Owners themselves and supply the local timbers exporters in the country. Also the increase development activities require an increased demand for construction and building needs. Most of the Milling activities concentrated on indigenous hardwood species of high strength and durability. The current demand for local hardwood species is very high and will increase in the future, however, rapid timber extraction through logging depletes the natural commercial species and would have devastating effect on the sawn timber supply to meet our local needs.
