The seed was planted in 2014 when he bought his first chainsaw mill.  He began milling logs to turn them into furniture in his home.   In 2020, Leh Meriwether retired from the practice of law and the firm he co-founded, Meriwether and Tharp.  While he loved helping people through his law practice, he was being called to help others in a new, more constructive way.  That, of course, meant upgrading equipment to mill logs faster. 

In 2020, he purchased a Wood-Mizer LT40 Wide Portable Sawmill.  In 2021, the business purchased the first two Nyle dehumidification kilns and business really began to grow.  In 2023, Meriwether Millworks purchased a third Nyle kiln. Now they turn fallen trees into stories.  Meriwether Millworks help property owners (residential and commercial) re-purpose the trees that have come down on their property.  Beginning with the end in mind, he mills up & kiln dries the fallen trees based on the customer’s final product, which often includes lumber for furniture, fencing, barns, ship-lap siding, tongue and groove flooring, and fireplace mantels.
