Hull Forest Products LLC is a logging and land clearing company based in Minnesota. They cut and sell timber from private land, handle land clearing for new construction, and also buy timber themselves. The work they take on includes timber harvesting, land clearing, forestry mulching, clear cutting, and selective cutting, along with timber and brush removal for new home sites. They work in Birch and Maple. On a harvest, they say soil conditions, tree species, terrain, and landowner goals decide whether a job calls for clear cutting or the finesse of selective cutting, and they aim to match equipment and technique to each site. The register lists Aitkin County as served, and the company's own pages describe serving South St. Louis, Lake, and Carlton counties in Minnesota. They also keep truckload quantities of 8' Birch and Maple firewood for sale. The company traces back three generations, starting under Tom McCabe Sr. and continued by his son, and operated as McCabe Forest Products until it became Hull Forest Products in 2013. Josh Hull, the current owner, grew up around a sawmill in Two Harbors and took over the business after working alongside Tom McCabe. Their own words sum up how they want the work done: "Clean. Courteous. Honest Workmanship." This fits a landowner in their service counties who wants one outfit to both harvest the timber and clear the ground afterward, from a small mulching job up through a large harvest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Holzfaller LLC is a forestry consulting business based in Williams, Minnesota, working timberland across the state and serving Koochiching County. They handle the full range of forestry work: stewardship plans, forest inventory, timber appraisal, reforestation, timber stand improvement, food plot work, land assessment, and timber harvesting itself. They also buy timber and do land buying. On the harvest side, they put together a harvest plan with you, send a Timber Sale Bid Invitation out to a list of potential bidders, and once a bid is accepted they draw up a contract, hold a pre-harvest meeting with the loggers, and check in on the site while work is underway. Payment is tracked either through a load ticket system at the mill or, on more uniform stands, by appraised volume. They mention working with dwarf mistletoe, larch beetle, diplodia, buckthorn, and Emerald Ash Borer in ash stands as forest health issues on Minnesota land. For a Stewardship Plan, they say a property should be "at least 20 acres of forested land." That's the number to know if your woods are on the smaller side. This fits a landowner who wants one outfit to walk the whole process, from a stewardship plan and health issues like EAB, through to getting bids out on an actual harvest.
