Selling Timber in Ramsey County, MN

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.

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.
