Lovell Lumber Co

About Lovell Lumber Co

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.
