Oxford Timber, Inc. is a sawmill business based in Oxford, Maine, that builds timber mats, crane mats, and bridge mats rather than buying standing timber for logging. They work with hardwood and hemlock, taking "any native hardwood except poplar and basswood," plus ash, and turn it into mats used to build roads over "muddy, swampy, unstable ground" for utility, construction, and logging crews. They also make specialty mats and bridges up to 8 feet wide and 16 feet long. The company serves Oxford County and says it serves all of New England. It has operated since 1979, when Merle Record started it, and the family still runs it, with Michael Record as president and Jean Record as treasurer. This fits a landowner near Oxford, Maine who needs stable road or crane access across soft ground, rather than someone looking for a buyer for standing timber.

By the Board Lumber Co is a sawmill and lumber yard in Readfield, Maine, on Route 17. They buy logs from local loggers and saw hemlock and pine that comes from right there in Maine. The work here is custom sawing more than standing timber sales. If you bring in your own logs they'll saw them, and for a big project like a barn or house they "can saw it out as you build it or saw the entire project and deliver it to your site." They'll also cut odd sizes for special projects, make railroad ties and land ties, and deliver bark mulch. Rough sawn hemlock and pine boards are sold at the yard, along with kiln-dried finished pine. They serve Kennebec County. Russ bought his first sawmill in June of 1998, running it as a portable rig on nights and weekends. The business has grown since, adding buildings and equipment, and moved to its current Readfield location on Route 17 in February of 2016. No acreage or tract size is mentioned here, since the work is about logs and sawing rather than buying standing timber off a woodlot. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who wants custom sawing done for a building project, more than someone who needs a buyer to come mark and harvest trees still standing.

Gilpatrick & Sons is a sawmill, logging outfit, and timber buyer in Richmond, Maine. They've been at it since 1973, starting out logging and selective cutting of wood lots in Central Maine, and adding the sawmill and propane side of things in 1985. If you've got a wood lot that needs thinning or a selective harvest, that's their main work alongside the milling. They cut and sell rough hemlock, pine (rough and finished), and cedar, so if your land has those species standing, they're set up to handle it. Their woodlot management and selective harvest services cover a 25 mile radius of Richmond, including Augusta, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Gardiner, Dresden, and Litchfield. They note they're "CPL Certified." There's no acreage minimum stated on their pages, so it's worth a call to Gilpatrick & Sons at 207-737-2090 to ask whether your particular lot fits what they take on. This one suits a landowner in or near Richmond, Maine who wants someone doing both the logging and the milling under one roof, especially if hemlock, pine, or cedar are what's growing on the property.

Dimension Lumber is a sawmill and lumber yard in Livermore Falls, Maine, running since 1998. They cut logs, plane wood, and sell lumber straight from their yard on Jug Hill Road. Their sawmill works mostly with Hemlock, cutting logs from 8 feet to 26 feet long. If you've got logs from your own land, they'll custom saw them to your order. If you don't, they can saw from their own inventory or just sell you lumber off the shelf. Hemlock from their mill gets used for trailer floors, barns, bridge materials, sheds, and outbuildings. They serve the Livermore Falls area in Androscoggin County. There's no acreage minimum stated, and no mention of them buying standing timber or doing logging work themselves. This is a mill you bring logs to, or buy finished lumber from, not a company that comes out and handles a timber sale on your land. They call themselves a "family-oriented business" and say you'll "treat you like family" when you visit. They also offer free quotes on material lists. This one suits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who wants hemlock lumber for a building project, rather than someone looking for help selling standing timber off their acres.

R E Lowell Lumber is a sawmill and lumber yard in Buckfield, Maine, with a second yard in Turner. The business has served the Buckfield area since 1945, and has been supplying building materials and hardware since 1954. The mill cuts its own finish, trim, and siding on site, "produced on-site at our mill," working mainly in eastern white pine, along with spruce, hemlock, pine, pressure treated lumber, cedar, and select oak. Beyond milled lumber, they stock a full range of building materials, hardware, paint, and plumbing and electrical supplies, and they say it is "where our grade is always one above the rest." Services include free estimates, free delivery, project design, and job site consultations. They name Southern and Central Maine as their area, with Oxford County among the counties served, plus Buckfield and Turner specifically. The business sits in Androscoggin County. No forestry work, logging, or timber buying is described; the work here is milling and building supply, not standing timber appraisal or harvest. This fits a landowner who wants boards, trim, or siding cut from local wood for a building project, rather than one looking for someone to walk their woods and buy standing timber.

Goode Sawmill is a sawmill and woodworking shop in Windsor, Maine. They cut live edge and square edge slabs from logs, kiln dry and sand them, and build finished furniture to order, things like dining tables, coffee tables, bed headboards, bar tops, and counters. In their own words, "We are a direct sawmill supplier of live edge products, from raw slabs to finished items." They work with wide live-edge lumber from local Maine sources, and they serve Kennebec County. Alexander runs the mill himself, using what he describes as a mix of old and often modified machinery, each with its own history. They also offer a sanding service for wide boards, up to 48 inches, which has been used to refinish old flooring. If you have logs rather than standing timber, they pick those up from arborists for free, as they put it, "I pick up logs for arborists at no charge." Work is by appointment, and projects are custom-made rather than off a standard list, so expect some back and forth about what you want the wood to become. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or who likes the idea of turning big, interesting trees into a table or counter rather than just selling them as timber. It's less suited to someone wanting a straightforward stumpage sale off standing acreage. From goodesawmill.com, read 5 October 2026.

Maine Woods Co, in Portage, Maine, runs a hardwood sawmill and dry line. They buy and process hard maple, yellow birch, soft maple, white ash, and bird's eye and flame birch, turning logs into rough dimension stock and surfaced lumber. Their work carries FSC® certification. They describe themselves as "the largest single manufacturer of hard maple lumber in the northeast," and say their mill is known for "producing some of the whitest wood in the region." This is a mill built around volume and grade, not a small custom shop, so a landowner selling a stand of hard maple or birch is looking at a buyer set up to take real quantity and turn it into finished lumber on site. They serve Aroostook County, where their mill sits on Fish Lake Road. This fits a landowner in Aroostook County with a solid stand of northern hardwoods, hard maple especially, who wants a mill buyer rather than a logger or forester, and who values certification on the wood that leaves the land.

J & J Cedar Mill, Inc. is a sawmill in Bridgewater, Maine, in Aroostook County. It's family owned, and it specializes in eastern white cedar and northern white cedar lumber, mainly for the fence industry, the log home industry, and related markets. The mill buys raw material from local forestry operations in the area and from across the border in New Brunswick, Canada. Most of what comes in arrives as tree length, though they also purchase some log length. From there it's processed into lumber of all sizes, lengths, and grades, including rough and dressed lumber, fence posts, decking and siding, and log home timbers and squares. Much of what they produce is sold wholesale and finished further by other companies, though they also handle smaller retail orders. The business started in the summer of 1995, when two brothers, Jake and Jerry, set out sawing what they call "one of the most difficult species in the north Maine woods." They've rebuilt the mill more than once over the years after fires, and the operation today runs with multiple employees. This one suits a landowner in Aroostook County with white cedar to sell, especially if you're thinking fence posts, log home timbers, or other cedar products rather than mixed hardwood sawtimber.

Moose River Lumber Co. Inc is listed as a sawmill or mill, in Moose River, Maine, and shows up in Aroostook County records. It is noted as serving Somerset County. The web page on file for this listing turns out to belong to a different company, Fontaine, which runs sawmill sites in Woburn, Quebec, Stratton, Maine, Moose River, Maine, and Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, and has an administration and production location at 25 Talpey Road in Moose River. Because that page describes Fontaine and not Moose River Lumber Co. Inc, there is nothing from it that can be said to apply to this listing: no species, no sale process, no minimum size of job, and no history specific to this company. If you have worked with Moose River Lumber Co. Inc directly, or know what kind of jobs it takes on, that detail isn't captured here. This listing is useful mainly as a name and place to start asking questions, for a landowner in or near Somerset County who wants to track down a local mill contact.

Yoder's Sawmill Inc. is a sawmill and timber buyer in Corinna, Maine. They turn logs into usable lumber, cutting custom orders for landowners and buying logs from loggers who have wood to sell. They work with cedar, hemlock, red oak, cherry, walnut, pine, and white ash, among other species. On the buying side, they say "if you're a logger with cedar, hemlock, red oak, or cherry to sell, we'd be interested in talking with you." On the milling side, they do custom sawing and custom kiln drying, plus planing, and they keep dimensional lumber and hardwoods on hand. They run a bandsaw mill and a kiln, and say they're "always looking for quality logs," taking on custom orders "large or small," whether that's a single special log or a bigger supply run. Products include white cedar decking, hemlock framing, log siding, hardwood flooring, pine tongue and groove, and kiln dried red oak. They're based at 910 Exeter Rd. in Corinna, Maine, and serve Penobscot County. They're listed under the mills and timber-buyers categories. This fits a landowner with cedar, hemlock, red oak, or cherry logs to sell, or anyone who already has logs cut and wants them custom sawn, dried, and planed into finished lumber rather than sold as standing timber.

Against the Grain is a sawmill in Lebanon, Maine. They started about 5 years ago when they bought a used sawmill, planning to build their own home from wood milled off their own land. A neighbor's hardwood log got them into slabbing, and the business grew from there. What they're known for is "large, live edge slabs," cut from logs they bring in mostly from Maine and New Hampshire, though they'll travel elsewhere in New England to find the right tree. Common species are maple, black walnut, box elder maple, cherry, and pine, all domestic, no exotics. Slabs go through air drying, then kiln drying, then flattening on a CNC machine to take out any cup or twist before they're sold. They also offer finishing work: sanding, filling voids, and applying a protective finish. Beyond slabs, they make live edge shelving, charcuterie boards, serving trays, custom signs, and hand poured candles out of a small retail shop on site. There's no stated minimum tract size, and no timber-buying service area given, so if you're hoping to sell standing timber or have a tract logged, this isn't that. This fits a landowner who has a big old hardwood log, or a few, and wants it turned into a tabletop or shelf rather than sold as timber. From againstthegrain207.com, read 5 October 2026.

Brookside Cedar Sawmill is a sawmill in Saint Albans, Maine, working with cedar. They're set up to cut cedar lumber to order, with a full list of sizes on hand, from small boards up to heavy timbers. This isn't a place that buys standing timber or sends someone out to log your woods. It's a mill that cuts cedar into lumber, so it fits a landowner who already has cedar logs or wants finished boards and posts rather than someone to manage a harvest. They say "quality is our number one priority" and stand behind that with "If you're not walking away happy with your order, we aren't either." Franklin County is where they're found in the register, and they're shown serving Somerset County. This one suits a landowner who has cedar on hand and wants it milled into lumber, not someone looking for a timber buyer or logger to handle a standing sale.

Lumbra Hardwoods is a full-production sawmill in Milo, Maine. It runs a lot of wood through, with an annual production capacity of approximately 7.5 million board feet, and it processes native Maine hardwood species including Hard Maple, Yellow Birch, Soft Maple, Ash, Oak, Beech, and Basswood. This isn't a stop for a homeowner with a truckload of logs. Lumber here is graded according to National Hardwood Lumber Association rules and sold in trailer load quantities, and it comes "green (not dried), kiln dried, or air-dried to your specification." Primary sizes sawed run from 4/4 up through 8/4, plus pallet stock and pallet parts. Even the leftovers get used, with chips, bark, and sawdust going to paper companies, pellet mills, biomass plants, and farmers. Lumbra Hardwoods serves Piscataquis County and sells well beyond it, with customers across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Eastern Canada, and occasional loads reaching Chicago and California. The company describes itself with the line "Some of the finest hardwood lumber in North America," which gives a sense of the scale it's built for. This one suits a manufacturer, mill, or distributor buying graded hardwood by the trailer load, not a landowner looking to sell standing timber off a few acres.

White House Lumber is a family owned sawmill in Waldoboro, Maine. It is a custom sawing and planing operation, not a timber buyer or logging outfit, so this is the place for landowners who already know they want their own logs cut into lumber rather than sold standing. They cut to order, full dimension rough cut lumber, any softwood up to 20 inches wide and 20 feet long. They also offer surface planing up to 25 inches. They specialize in wide pine for flooring and thick live edge slabs for counter and bar tops, and they build Live Edge Rustic Picnic Tables with a lagbolted Hemlock frame. They'll take on timber frame work too, as long as you can give them a cut list. The business serves Lincoln County and has been running since July 4th, 1989. There's no acreage minimum stated, and this isn't the kind of sawmill that measures jobs by acreage anyway, since they say "no job too small or too big." Their own words sum up the approach: "You design it, we will cut it." This suits a landowner who already has logs or standing timber in mind for a specific project, like flooring, furniture, or a timber frame, and wants a local mill to cut it to their own specs rather than someone to find a buyer for the wood.

Lovell Lumber Co is a sawmill in Lovell, Maine. It takes in logs and turns them into Eastern White Pine boards, along with some Eastern Hemlock, right at its own mill in the Saco River Valley of Western Maine. The mill draws its logs from within a 50 mile radius of Lovell, and it serves Oxford County. It produces over 5.5 million board feet of Eastern White Pine lumber a year, in widths from 1 x 4 through 1 x 12, plus some 5/4, 6/4, and 8/4 stock. Lovell Lumber says it "produces some of the finest quality Eastern White Pine boards in New England." Most of what it makes goes out through wholesalers and wholesale distributors, though landowners and other retail buyers can visit the on-site retail outlet, the Pine Shop. All of its production is graded three times by NeLMA certified graders, and everyone handling a board through manufacturing has grading knowledge. The business goes back to October of 1973, when Edward and Helen Woodbrey bought the mill. It passed to their son Mark in 1983, and the mill has kept to that same focus on quality over quantity since. This fits a landowner near the Saco River Valley with Eastern White Pine or Eastern Hemlock to move, especially one who'd rather deal with a mill that saws and grades its own lumber than a broker.
