Hedstrom Lumber Company

About Hedstrom Lumber Company

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.
