Sawmills and pulp mills purchase harvested timber. Some mills have in-house timber buying divisions, letting landowners sell direct — cutting out the middleman.

612 Milling is a sawmill and woodworking shop in Isanti, Minnesota, run by Jake Myhre. It started officially in 2019 and works out of the north metro area in Minnesota, with county service listed for Isanti. The business offers "portable sawmill services and stationary services," meaning Jake can cut logs at his shop or travel to your land. The mill handles logs up to 35 inches wide and 16 feet long. Offsite work runs $150 an hour with a three hour minimum, and shop work runs $100 an hour with a one hour minimum. Beyond sawing, 612 Milling also kiln dries lumber, builds custom furniture such as tables and desks, and buys logs outright, so landowners with downed or cut timber have an option besides hauling it to a dump. A job cutting a 32 inch wide Elm log in Shakopee shows the kind of work the mill takes on. No acreage minimum is set here, since the work is priced by the hour on logs rather than by the size of a woodlot. "WE BUY LOGS" sums up one simple way to deal with them if you already have wood down and want it gone or turned into lumber. This fits a landowner who already has logs on the ground, wants them sawn into usable boards, dried, or bought, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber from a larger tract.

Ruben Custom Sawmill and Woodworks, LLC is a sawmill and woodworking shop in White Bear Township, Minnesota. Matt Ruben founded it in 2018 with a single sawmill and a goal to "reclaim Minnesota's fallen trees." It now runs as a full-time, family-run business. The work falls into milling and woodworking. For milling, it brings a portable bandsaw mill to your land and cuts your logs into lumber on site, and it offers kiln-dried slabs and native hardwoods by appointment. For woodworking, it builds live-edge tables, bar tops, mantles and butcher block style walnut countertops, and it makes kiln-dried lumber from locally salvaged wood. It works with cherry, burr oak, walnut, maple, oak, pine, cedar, fir and poplar. It gives custom quotes for furniture, milling and countertops, and it serves Ramsey County. It suits a landowner with one or a few trees down, such as a storm-downed oak or a walnut, who has no room to store green lumber and would rather hire the milling out than own a mill.

Knotty Sawmill is a portable sawmill business in North Branch, Minnesota. It brings its mill to your property and cuts logs on site. It works with both hardwood and softwood and serves Chisago County. The work is for trees you already have down. A storm has felled one in the yard, or a tree removal job has left trunks behind, and you would rather keep the wood than burn it. The mill and its equipment come to your home, and the logs are cut there. Products include live edge boards, live edge shelves, a live edge bar top, a live edge mantel, charcuterie boards, circular cookie slabs for tabletops, and lumber, depending on the size of the tree. Most jobs run between $300 and $800, depending on the size and number of logs and the products you choose. Rates also depend on your location and how long the mill will be on site. The business puts its goal this way: turning "what you once thought was firewood" into a feature piece for the home. This suits a landowner in Chisago County or around North Branch who has a downed tree and would rather have it milled into boards or a finished piece than hauled off or cut for firewood.

Victory Mills LLC is a sawmill business in North Branch, Minnesota, run by Mike. They work with a portable sawmill, so they can come to your land and mill logs on the spot, or you can haul logs to their site and they will cut to your specifications. Their work centers on portable milling and custom orders. They turn logs into dimensional lumber, live edge slabs, flooring, decking, beams, and mantles, and take on custom jobs beyond that list. They describe the process plainly: "With our portable sawmill, we can come to you, or you can drop logs off at our site." They serve Washington, Chisago, and Isanti counties in Minnesota, along with Western Wisconsin. No tree species or starting acreage are named for this business, but their work is built around individual logs and custom cuts rather than large standing-timber harvests. They sum up their approach as "quality service and products with integrity," with an emphasis on working directly with the person bringing the wood. This fits a landowner with a handful of trees down, or logs already cut, who wants them turned into usable lumber or a custom piece rather than selling a standing timber tract outright. From victorymills.net, read 8 October 2026.
Rush Creek Mills, LLC is a sawmill in Rush City, Minnesota. They saw logs into lumber and also finish that lumber into flooring, paneling, and custom millwork, so you can go from a log to a finished product in one place. You bring your logs to their facility and they saw them on a band mill, handling diameters up to 32 inches and lengths up to 20 feet. They work in Red and White Oak, Maple, Walnut, Cherry, Ash, Birch, White Pine, and Eastern Cedar, among other species, and they stock air and kiln dried lumber. Past the sawing stage, they offer custom millwork profiles, flooring that can be matched to existing floors from 1.5 to 8 inches wide, and several paneling styles including Vee groove tongue and groove, beaded paneling, and barn and log siding. They list Chisago County as an area they serve, with a Rush City address and an Anoka County mill listing as well. The business started in 1998 with a portable sawmill "specializing in cutting timbers and skid materials for rigging industrial machinery," and has grown from there into the full custom sawing and woodworking operation it runs today. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut or standing timber harvested and wants it turned into usable lumber, flooring, or millwork rather than someone just looking to sell standing trees. From rushcreekmills.com, read 8 October 2026.
Two Inlets Mill is a sawmill in Park Rapids, Minnesota, in Becker County. It isn't a timber buyer or logging outfit that comes out to your land. It saws lumber and sells building supplies and millwork from its own yard. The mill works with nine native species: Norway Pine, White Pine, Jack Pine, Popple, Basswood, Birch, Ash, Red Oak, and Tamarack. It cuts these into boards and patterns like V-groove, log siding, shiplap, and rough sawn lumber, and also offers design help, lumber selection advice, and installation services such as framing, roofing, siding, and flooring. It calls itself "Your Local Experts Since 1968." There's no minimum tract size stated, since this isn't a business that buys standing timber off your property. If you've already got logs or are building something and want local wood milled into lumber or trim, this is a place to call. It suits a landowner who wants to see their own timber turned into boards for a building project, not someone looking for a buyer to walk their woods and make an offer on standing trees.

Timberlyne Wood Products runs two mills in Cass Lake, Minnesota. They cut timbers and lumber from red pine (Norway), white pine, and jack pine, and they also buy timber, serving Cass County. The mills handle sizable work: timbers up to 20 feet on the circle saw carriage mill, and up to 42 feet on their band saw carriage mill, with cuts as large as 12 inches by 16 inches. They offer rough sawn or surfaced (S4S) finishes, kiln drying, and heat treating (HT) certification through the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturer Association, which lets customers use the wood for export packaging. They also cut custom products like grooved cants and specialty boards, and they note "We have twenty plus years experience in producing timbers to highway guard rail specifications." Their safety awards go back to 1987, and they state they are OSHA-compliant. No minimum tract size is given, but their product list points to substantial logs, including a minimum 20-inch diameter log needed for their largest S4S timbers. This fits a landowner with larger pine stands, especially red pine or white pine, who wants a mill that also buys standing timber and can turn logs into long timbers or certified export-grade wood, rather than someone with a small mixed hardwood lot.

Maverick Wood Products runs a sawmill in Browerville, Minnesota. They cut pallet lumber, crates, and skids in both softwood and hardwood, and they also buy standing timber and saw bolts straight from landowners. If you have woods to sell, they work in pine, spruce, balsam fir, tamarack, aspen, basswood, birch, maple, oak, and elm, saying they "can utilize most trees species." They ask for adequate access and a landing location, modern logging equipment, and slash disposal on site. They say the "harvest plan will be tailored to YOUR goals and objectives." For a timber sale, they want a minimum of 15 acres of woods. They serve Todd County. If you'd rather sell logs or saw bolts than stand timber, they're also buying those directly at the mill, with specs on length and diameter by species, and they take deliveries at the mill with road access for 10-ton trucks. This one suits a landowner in Todd County with at least 15 acres who wants a sawmill buying both standing timber and delivered logs, not just one or the other.

Stenerson Lumber is a mill in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.
J2 Hauling LLC runs a sawmill in Frazee, Minnesota, in Becker County. It makes standard and custom pallets, along with kdht cut stock pallet components, boards and stringers. The mill works with green lumber and kdht (kiln dried heat treat) lumber. Lumber goes through a trim saw for accurate lengths, then through a double head notcher or a board splitter to make deck boards, and components can be HT stamped on request. J2 Hauling LLC describes itself as "your one stop for standard and custom pallets," and offers "custom pallet and crate design" for buyers who need pallets or crates built to specific sizes. Delivery runs on flatbed and van trailers. The business is based at 39600 State Highway 87 in Frazee and serves Becker County. This fits a landowner or business near Frazee who needs pallets, crates, or cut stock made to order, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber. From j2haulingllc.com, read 8 October 2026.
Northland Hardwood Lumber Co is a sawmill and wholesale lumber business out of Bemidji, Minnesota. It got its start in 1973, when Orville and Scott Curb set up shop in Northome, MN selling "quality Northern Hardwoods." The business moved to Bemidji in 1980 and has been there since. This is a wholesale operation, not a logging crew. They run a softwood cut-up plant out of the Bemidji yard and keep distribution yards in Minnesota and Wisconsin. They work in Northern Hardwoods, Appalachian and Southern Hardwoods, S.P.F., and Aspen. They also buy timber, alongside their milling and distribution work. There's no stated minimum acreage or tract size here, and no mention of logging, cruising, or management plan services. So if you're a landowner looking for someone to walk your woods, mark trees, or handle a harvest from stump to truck, this isn't that. This fits better for someone further down the chain, already dealing in hardwood or softwood volume, or a landowner whose timber buyer or logger is looking to move wood through an established wholesale yard.

Maple Ridge Sawmill Inc is a sawmill in Puposky, Minnesota, working out of Beltrami County. If you've got pine, oak, or cedar standing and want it turned into lumber or timbers rather than sold as logs, this is the kind of place that does that work. They cut custom milled lumber and timber in any dimension, rough 1 inch lumber, with cuts running from 8 to 30 feet. Their main focus is red and white pine lumber and timbers, and they also do oak and cedar by calling ahead. They describe themselves as "your local source for high-end, custom milled lumber & timber crafted with care & precision," and they call their wood "Locally harvested & sustainable timber." Their work ranges "From specialty cuts to log homes," so whether you need a small custom order or timbers for a building project, it sounds like they'll talk it through with you. They serve Beltrami County and call themselves "Northern Minnesota's Finest Timbers & Lumber." There's no mention of acreage minimums, so this looks like it's built around the milling itself rather than buying standing timber off your land outright. This fits a landowner who already has logs or standing pine, oak, or cedar and wants it custom milled into lumber or timbers, especially anyone thinking about a log home or a specialty building project, rather than someone just looking to sell trees as-is.

Hedstrom Lumber Company is a sawmill in Grand Marais, Minnesota, right on the Gunflint Trail. They've been sawing lumber since Andrew Hedstrom started the mill on the Devil Track River back in 1914, and they're still at it today, over a hundred years later. They describe themselves plainly: "We are a Minnesota manufacturer of specialty lumber products for wholesale clients." On the wood procurement side, they manage timber sales from the USFS, the Minnesota DNR, and county governments, and they also buy cut logs and standing timber from private landowners. The species they work with are red pine, white pine, spruce, jack pine, and balsam. Logs milled run up to 16 feet long and up to 48 inches across, and they make custom products like timbers for timber-frame construction, log siding blanks, and tongue and groove paneling, along with standard lumber lines. They serve Cook County. Beyond lumber, they also sell into Minnesota, the Upper Midwest, and Canada. There's no stated minimum acreage for timber sales, so there's no size to point to here, small or large. This is a company built around a working sawmill, not a one-person outfit, and it's been part of Cook County for over a century. If you're a landowner in Cook County with standing timber in red pine, white pine, spruce, jack pine, or balsam, and you want to sell to an operation that runs its own mill rather than just brokers logs, this is one to call.

Joe's Sawmill is a sawmill in Royalton, Minnesota, run by Joe Held. It's a "family owned small business that makes customers a priority," cutting logs and trees to whatever size a customer needs. The work is custom sawing and sizing, kiln drying, and slabwood, including dried slab firewood. They mill red cedar, red oak, white oak, pine, maple, and birch, and say their capabilities stretch to virtually any hardwood native to the area. Joe started the mill in 2020 with a manual bandsaw and now runs a hydraulic diesel band saw, which he says is more efficient. There's no stated minimum acreage or job size on their pages, so there's nothing to go by there. The business is based in Benton County and serves that area. This fits a landowner near Royalton with logs or standing trees who wants lumber custom cut to size, dried, or turned into firewood, rather than someone looking for a full timber sale or standing-timber appraisal.

FBT Sawmill is a mill in Steen, Minnesota. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.
East Dhu River Sawmill is a mill in Iron, Minnesota, 7 miles west of Eveleth. It's family-owned and has been running since 1989. This isn't a logging or timber buying outfit. It's a sawmill that turns wood into finished products: lumber, tongue and groove, flooring, siding, trim, and more. They work with Cedar, Birch, Tamarack, Black Ash, White & Red Pine, Basswood, Oak, Hickory, and Maple. Their services include custom milling, kiln drying, and finish work, plus advice from their staff if you have questions about what you've got. They say they offer "a wide range of high-quality products" and call themselves family-owned. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no sign they buy standing timber or do any logging on your land. Their listed service area is St. Louis County. This fits a landowner in that area who already has logs or wants lumber milled and finished, not someone looking for a buyer to come harvest standing timber off their acres. From eastdhuriversawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.
Minnesota Milling is a mobile sawmill business out of Chaska, Minnesota. Caleb and Holly Steffenhagen run it as a husband and wife team, and the mill comes to you: "Minnesota Milling provides on-site milling with our mobile sawmill." The work on offer includes mobile sawmilling, anchorseal application, kiln drying, and custom woodworking services. Black Walnut is the species named on their pages. A mobile milling job runs at $125 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, and most customers slabbing 4-7 logs end up with an all-in price between $650 and $750. They also run their own IDRY kiln, which can hold 16 feet of slabs or boards up to 4 feet wide and 4 feet high, or 2,000 board feet of wood at once, and you can either bring wood to them or have it picked up. Minnesota Milling serves Carver County, with their own pages naming Minnesota more broadly as their area. They describe starting the business as a couple wanting "a new adventure together," built around time they'd spent in the woods growing up. This fits a landowner with a handful of logs, Black Walnut especially, who wants them milled into lumber or dried for a project, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber from a larger tract.

Kleppe Forest Products is a logging and sawmill company based out of Southeast Minnesota, run out of Harmony. It's a family business, "Family Owned & Operated," with Jason, Jenny, Chase, and Cole Kleppe behind it, backed by "Decades of Experience." The work covers land clearing, buying standing timber, and buying cut logs, with custom orders available too. They run three sawmills, in Harmony and Preston, Minnesota, and Orchard, Iowa, and they'll deliver products throughout the U.S. Their logging and buying work covers Minnesota and Wisconsin, and they're known to take on jobs in Fillmore County. No tract size is given for what they'll take on, so landowners with smaller acreage may want to call and ask directly. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit that can log the timber, buy it, and mill it too, rather than juggling separate contractors for each step. From kleppeforestproducts.com, read 8 October 2026.
HG Lumber Mill is a sawmill in Pipestone, Minnesota, run as a family business. It launched in 2023, carrying on from the owner's grandfather's sawmill, Duus Sawmill in Tyler, which ran from the mid-1990s to 2018. The mill takes in logs for custom milling and custom drying. They work with hardwood and softwood, including local timber, and cut it on a fully hydraulic bandsaw mill. You bring your logs to the mill, and their team helps you "develop a cut list and mill it however you'd like." Drying is done in solar dehumidification kilns, priced by board footage, and slabs get finished with 36 inch sanders and flatteners. They also sell hardwood and softwood slabs and local dimensional lumber by the board foot. They list Pipestone County as an area they serve, alongside nearby counties across the state line. This is a milling and drying operation, not a timber buyer or logging crew, so it suits a landowner who already has logs down and wants them sawn, dried, and finished, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or have trees harvested.

Hometown Sawmill and Hardwoods is a woodworking shop and sawmill in Le Center, Minnesota. It is listed on its own pages as HomeTown Slabs & Wood Works, and it describes its work as "Heirloom Quality Furniture." The shop works with walnut, hackberry and American elm. It sells live edge kiln dried slabs, in lengths under 8 feet and 8 to 12 feet. Its custom work covers dining tables, islands, bar tops, desks and epoxy river tables. It runs a vacuum kiln drying service that takes full loads only, in a chamber 12 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. Its own notes say 10/4 slabs take roughly 4 weeks to dry to 8% moisture content. The shop also buys large logs. Visitors are asked to make an appointment first, since the owners are often in and out of the shop. The business suits a landowner with a large walnut, hackberry or American elm log who wants to sell it to a shop that buys large logs. From hometownsawmill.wixsite.com, read 8 October 2026.

Savanna Lumber Products is a wholesale lumber distribution company in Cloquet, Minnesota, serving the upper Midwest. It's listed under mills, and the register places it in Carlton County as a manufacturer. This is not an outfit that buys standing timber off a landowner's land or sends a crew out to log it. It works on the distribution side, moving lumber once it's milled. No species are named, no logging or timber-buying services are described, and there's no stated minimum acreage. If you're trying to find someone to walk your woods, mark trees, or make an offer on standing timber, this isn't that. This fits a landowner, or more likely a contractor or builder, who already has lumber to move or needs a wholesale lumber source in the upper Midwest. From savannalp.com, read 8 October 2026.
Lester River Sawmill is a mill in Duluth, Minnesota, working out of Rice Lake Rd. They've been at it since 1980, turning out lumber products for home builders, homeowners, and craftsmen in the area. This isn't a place that buys standing timber or comes out to log your land. They work with wood already cut, turning it into finished products: tongue and groove paneling, shiplap, mouldings and trim, S4S boards, live-edge slabs, and rough lumber like dimensional lumber and timbers. They also sell sawdust, woodchips, and slab wood for garden and farm use. Tamarack is the species they mention by name, including what they call "Ground Contact Tamarack (Naturally Rot-resistant)" for outdoor use. They serve St. Louis County and describe their reach as "across the northland." No minimum tract size is given, since this isn't a timber-buying operation in the first place. If you're a landowner who already has logs or wants finished lumber for a building project rather than someone to come cut and sell your standing trees, this is the kind of business you'd call. For actually selling timber off your land, you'd want to look elsewhere. From lesterriversawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.

Hull's Sawmill is a sawmill in Two Harbors, Minnesota, family owned and operated since 1995. It serves Lake County. The mill takes on custom wood cutting, logs for log homes, blocking and dunnage material for industry, graded hardwoods for furniture and cabinetry, and custom materials for builders and homeowners. It works with hardwoods, poplar, and tamarack. Greg Hull has over one million board feet of custom cutting experience behind him. The mill describes itself as "a completely unique sawmill," and says that "whether you are interested in 1 or 2 boards or truckloads, we can meet your needs." This suits a landowner who wants wood cut to their own specifications, whether that is a small custom order or a full truckload, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber or hire a logging crew. From hullsawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.
Storm Trees LLC is a sawmill and timber buyer in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. They also do land clearing and site work. Their main business is taking downed trees, the kind lost to storms, disease, or development, and milling them into lumber instead of letting them be chipped or wasted. In their own words, "we reclaim downed trees and give them new life as high-quality building materials." They work with White Oak, Red Oak, Black Walnut, Ash, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Hackberry, Honey Locust, and thermally modified wood. Their offerings include kiln dried dimensional hardwood, customized milling, beams, timbers, and live edge slabs. They are based at 6350 Industrial Drive in Eden Prairie and say they serve Hennepin County, describing themselves as offering "the convenience and responsiveness local tree companies and homeowners need" close to home. Storm Trees was established in 2023. This fits a landowner in the Eden Prairie area who has downed or storm-damaged trees and wants them turned into usable lumber rather than hauled off as waste, especially someone drawn to hardwoods like oak or walnut and who values seeing the wood's story carried through to a finished board. From stormtrees.com, read 8 October 2026.
Montgomery Sawmill is a sawmill in Montgomery, Minnesota, that custom cuts logs into lumber for the landowner who brings them the wood, rather than one that buys standing timber or runs logging crews. They'll take whole trees or logs and saw them to the dimensions you want on their Wood-Mizer LT70 Super, and they handle logs "up to 3' in diameter and 20' long." Species they've worked with include red and white oak, pine, cedar, cherry, ash, walnut, basswood, hard and soft maple, elm, and hackberry, though what's on hand changes. Beyond sawing, they offer planing (boards and beams up to 25 inches wide and 9 inches thick), kiln drying, resawing of old or salvaged wood, and custom dimensional lumber. If you can't get your log to them, they'll come get it, since they "self load and transport logs up to 20' long and up to 10,000 lbs," with pickup available anywhere in Minnesota. They also take whole logs for repurposing, including dead, diseased, or storm damaged trees, and will sometimes purchase select logs if you're clearing land or having an area logged. They serve Le Sueur County directly and name Montgomery, Kilkenny, Le Center, Lonsdale, New Prague, and Shieldsville as their working area. Montgomery Sawmill was established in 2016 by Cole Van Horn, with John Ashwood now running the business. This fits a landowner who already has a tree or two down, or a special log with history behind it, and wants it turned into usable boards rather than sold off as standing timber.

Cole Cuts Sawmill is a family business in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Kurt Cole and his wife Anne started it in 1991, first as a custom milling operation, and it has grown to include tree services for homeowners, businesses, and municipalities. Kurt still runs it today, with family help when needed. The milling side takes your wood, dropped off or picked up, or wood they already have on site, and cuts it to the dimensions your project needs. On the tree side they handle trimming, removal, and stump grinding, with wood chips available if you want them. They work on residential, commercial, and municipal jobs, and say "no job is too small or too big." They serve Scott County and offer a free quote before any work starts. There's no stated minimum acreage or tract size. This fits a landowner with a small job in mind, whether that's a handful of trees to clear or a single log worth milling into something useful, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber off a larger tract. From cole-cuts.com, read 8 October 2026.
Pillsbury Forest Hardwoods Inc is a sawmill in Pillager, Minnesota, in Cass County. It is also listed as a timber buyer. The business describes itself as a "family-owned sawmill specializing in premium hardwood and softwood products." The mill cuts grade lumber, custom timbers, pallet materials, railroad ties, stakes, lath, and firewood, and offers custom sawmill services using a circular sawmill and vertical edger. It works with White Oak, Birch, and other hardwood and softwood species, and makes White Oak trailer decking. Beyond milling, it buys hardwood sawlogs from local loggers, which is how it connects with landowners who have timber to sell rather than standing trees still to be marked or cruised. It serves Cass County and works more broadly across Minnesota. The business was founded in 1990 "with a simple goal: to manufacture quality forest products at a fair price." It started as a two-man operation with a portable mill, moved to a mill in Jenkins, Minnesota, and has grown into the multi-person operation it runs today near Pillager. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut or decked and wants a mill that will buy hardwood sawlogs, rather than someone needing a forester to walk their woods and plan the first sale.

Marine Sawmill LLC is a family owned, small-scale sawmill in Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota. It collects logs that would otherwise be discarded and cuts them into lumber. Its mailing address is in Forest Lake, and it serves Washington County. The mill keeps a small lumberyard that is "perfect for the hobbyist woodworker." It also offers custom cutting services, so logs can be sawn to order. Its trade is lumber, both from the yard and from the cutting work. Because the logs it cuts would otherwise go to waste, the work is about turning that wood into boards a woodworker can use. Marine Sawmill LLC suits a landowner who wants logs turned into lumber or custom cut, rather than one looking for a buyer of standing timber. From marinesawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.

Manitou Forest Products is a saw mill in Emo, Ontario, set in the heart of Northwestern Ontario's boreal forest. It has been in business for over 20 years, turning out white and red pine products, kiln dried lumber, knotty pine paneling, timbers, cedar products and hardwood products for its customers. This is a mill that turns logs into finished wood products. It is not an outfit that comes to a woodlot to mark timber or run a harvest for a landowner. Its raw material comes from the pine, cedar and hardwood of the surrounding boreal forest, and its output is lumber, paneling and timbers rather than standing-timber purchases. Manitou Forest Products describes itself as "committed to the responsible use of nature's renewable resource," and says it has "ready access to climatically tempered raw materials" to produce its line of pine, cedar and hardwood goods. This suits someone looking for a northern Ontario mill that produces finished pine, cedar and hardwood lumber and paneling, rather than someone hoping for a company to buy standing timber or log a property directly.

Mill City Hardwood and Forest Products is a sawmill in White Bear Township, Minnesota, working out of Hwy 61 N. They take in logs and turn out hardwood lumber for builders, makers, and designers, with custom milling, kiln drying, planing, and shaping and moulding among the services they offer. They work with walnut, hard maple, alder, and white oak. If you have saw logs, they'll either come mill them at your place or you can send the logs to them, and they'll "pick up your saw logs, process them to your specifications, and return the lumber to you." They also mention matching old millwork for restoration jobs. Order pickup is available, they deliver to businesses around the Twin Cities, and they ship lumber nationwide. They serve Ramsey County. There's no minimum tract size stated for timber sales. The business grew out of what they describe as a backyard hobby that "quickly turned into a full-blown business" as the brothers learned each wood species and what their customers needed. This fits a landowner near White Bear Township with a handful of logs worth cutting into lumber, rather than someone planning a standing timber sale off a larger tract.

Hill Wood Products Inc is a sawmill and manufacturer in Cook, Minnesota, up in St. Louis County. They've been at it over 70 years, since the Hill family started the company, and they're still running out of the same factory in Cook. This isn't a place that buys standing timber or sends someone out to walk your woods. What they make is hardwood: thin sawn veneer and lamellas for industrial customers, engineered flooring under the Ashawa Bay Hardwood Floors name, and biomass fuel that goes to a large industrial customer as an alternative to natural gas. Their own words are that they've "evolved through various technologies, products, and markets" over the decades, and that they aim for "Problem Solving and Customer Satisfaction." They say their products are made in America, at the Cook factory. They serve St. Louis County, with their flooring distributed across the United States and veneer going to industrial customers worldwide. There's no stated acreage minimum, and no mention of logging or timber-buying services, so this is a manufacturer to know about rather than someone to call about a standing timber sale. This fits a landowner, mill, or supplier looking for a hardwood products manufacturer, not someone looking for help selling trees off their land. From hillwoodproducts.com, read 8 October 2026.

Benson Mill suits a landowner in Crow Wing County who wants a mill close to home to talk to first, and who will ask hard questions before signing anything.

Questions landowners ask
How many mills are there in Minnesota?
254 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Minnesota forestry register, covering 42 counties between them.
How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
