Selling Timber in Cass County, MN

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.

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.
