Mills

Marks Lumber is a sawmill in Clancy, Montana. It's a mid-sized specialty mill, one of the few left in the state that still turns out authentic circle sawn lumber, timbers, flooring, and siding. The business works in Douglas fir and serves Jefferson County. This isn't a timber buyer walking your woods to mark trees. Marks Lumber is the mill end of the business: circle sawn lumber, timbers, flooring, siding, and tongue and groove, plus a timber frame side run by Cody Marks, building everything from pergolas to full mortise and tenon homes. On the timber frame side they lay out a clear process, from a first meet and greet through design, manufacture, and final build, with deposits at set stages along the way. Marks Lumber describes itself as "Family Owned for Generations," a small operation with Montana roots that has also put real money into its mill in recent years. If you're a landowner with standing timber to sell, this is likely not your first call. But if you need Douglas fir lumber, timbers, or a timber frame built well, or you're wondering who processes wood in Jefferson County, Marks Lumber is worth knowing about.

Dreher Sawmill Ranch llc is a sawmill in Great Falls, Montana. It's family-owned and operated, running since 2015, and the work centers on producing rough cut lumber and wood products rather than buying standing timber or logging it. If you've got trees down or logs ready to go, this is more of a cutting operation than a timber buyer. They offer custom cutting and custom dimension decking, working from logs or material you bring them. One customer mentioned having "custom dimension decking for a trailer" cut there, so that gives you a sense of the kind of job they take on. No species are named and no minimum tract size is given, so it's worth calling to ask whether your logs are a fit before you haul anything over. They list Cascade County as where they serve customers, with the shop itself on Diamond Lane in Great Falls. The business describes itself as working "closely with each customer, ensuring that every project is handled with care, precision, and a personal touch," which points to a shop used to small, individual orders rather than high-volume contracts. This fits a landowner who already has logs or lumber needs and wants a local mill to cut custom dimension work, not someone looking for a buyer of standing timber on acreage.

Montana Custom Millwork is a sawmill and millwork shop in Billings, Montana. They mill Douglas fir, ponderosa pine, blue stain pine, and walnut, taking it from "every log sourced within 100 miles" through to rough-cut lumber, finished boards, post and beam timbers, live-edge slabs, and mulch. The whole process, from log yard to planer, is handled in-house by the same shop. Work ranges from single boards to full truckloads: structural framing, tongue and groove and shiplap, green or dried post and beam timbers for pole barns and gazebos, dunnage and pallet lumber for industrial customers, live-edge slabs for tables and bar tops, and custom pieces like stair treads, decking, and saunas. They describe their pricing as "mill-direct pricing, skipping the big-box markup," since they cut out the usual distributor markup. They serve eastern Montana, with Yellowstone County among the areas covered, and are named for Billings, Laurel, Columbus, Hardin, and Miles City. The mill was founded in February 2020 by Jessyca and Nick Chiasson, a family operation that runs every step themselves. Jessyca comes from building and landscaping and built her own home's furniture before this; Nick spent over twelve years as a building contractor and worked a sawmill in New Hampshire before heading west. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or is working with a logger, and needs someone local to custom-mill that wood into usable lumber, timbers, or slabs rather than someone who buys standing timber or manages the land itself.

Montana Lumber Company is a sawmill in Three Forks, Montana. They cut and sell lumber, circle-sawn timber, and firewood to builders, homeowners, and craftsmen, mostly in Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan, and the greater Gallatin Valley. Their main species are Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. They offer circle-sawn lumber in a variety of sizes, shiplap siding, tongue and groove, custom wood flooring, sawdust and animal bedding, and logs and headgates, along with "custom-cut timber beams." Kiln-drying is available to help cut down on movement and keep boards stable. They work with builders, ranchers, and repeat customers, and they take pre-orders so materials are ready when you arrive. They don't buy standing timber or walk a property to talk through a timber sale. This is a mill you bring logs to or buy finished material from, not an outfit that comes out and marks or harvests trees for you. They've been doing this for over a decade in the Gallatin Valley. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or who wants to buy lumber or firewood, rather than someone still trying to find a logger or a buyer for standing timber on their acres.

B & J Sawmill is a mill in Reed Point, Montana. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.

Fox Distribution operates as a sawmill, listed under the name Yellowstone Stud Company at its Laurel, Montana location. It's one of several mills run by Fox Lumber, with other locations in Washington, Oregon, and Ontario. This mill runs on Doug Fir, 100 percent, and turns out furring strips, pallet parts, and studs, along with rails sized from 2 ¾ inches to 4 ½ inches round, and used, treated railroad ties in grades 1, 2, and 3. The Laurel mill produces over 100mbf of lumber daily and ships to clients across the nation. The company describes itself as "A Leader in Industrial Lumber Sales," with sales staff carrying more than 150 years of combined experience across the lumber trade. For landowners in Yellowstone County, this is a mill buying logs for its production line rather than a timber buyer walking your woods. If you've got Doug Fir to move and want a straightforward wholesale outlet, this is worth a call. It won't suit you if you're after someone to walk your acreage, mark timber, or advise on a standing sale. From foxlumber.com, read 4 October 2026.

Big Timberworks Inc. is a sawmill and timber frame shop in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. It works in Doug Fir and reclaimed timber, and it has been at it since 1979, when it started out as what the crew called "a coalition of log building Gypsies." The work here is building, not buying standing timber. They cut and shape timber frames, trusses, and box beams, run a sawmill for siding, paneling, and flooring, and build live edge tables, doors, mantels, railings, and signs on the side. A job starts with design, whether you bring your own sketch or a finished plan, and from there they handle shop drawings, scheduling, and the build itself. They also partner with builders, architects, and designers who need reclaimed timber and structural material for a client's project. They serve Gallatin County directly, and they describe themselves as shipping and erecting reclaimed timber frame projects across the United States, so distance is not necessarily a barrier if the project fits what they do. This one suits a landowner who already has a building or furniture project in mind, who wants reclaimed or Doug Fir timber worked into something finished, rather than someone just looking to sell standing trees off the back forty.

Brand X Sawmills makes sawmills and is found in Blaine County, Montana. Its main product is the Brand X Sawmill, a 90-degree swing frame mill that cuts both vertically and horizontally. Because it cuts in both directions, you can cut dimensional lumber without ever turning the log. The frame is fully assembled steel and made in the USA. Bad Goat Forest Products has run one since 2006. Its manager says the mill makes square, true beams for timber frame structures and works with both large and small logs. Flipping a half log over lets the mill cut live edge slabs from the bottom side too. The cutting runs with "no wasted motion" and high production. It suits a landowner who wants to saw their own logs into lumber, beams, or slabs with equipment of their own. From brandxsawmills.com, read 4 October 2026.

Dupuis Lumber LLC is a sawmill in Polson, Montana. They also buy timber. They run a band sawmill, and in their own words, "We use a band sawmill to cut accurately and efficiently." Their work is custom sawn beams and lumber. They source their timber from local forests and loggers, and they serve Lake County. They're particular about what they take in: "We buy really nice logs good timbers only comes from good logs." That's worth knowing if you're deciding whether your stand is a fit before you call. This listing doesn't give a stated minimum acreage or tract size, so there's no number to pass along here. This suits a landowner near Polson who has good quality logs and wants them custom sawn into beams and lumber, or who wants to sell standing timber to a local buyer rather than ship logs out of the area.

Gruber Sawmill is a sawmill in Libby, Montana, at 148 Gruber Road. It makes a wide variety of wood products and takes on custom projects. The business describes its focus as "high-quality service and customer satisfaction," and custom projects are the specialty it names. The mill has been in operation for 18 years. Owner Jeff Gruber started it as a summer job during his time off from teaching high school in Libby. He retired in 2018, and since then he has upgraded the mill, bought equipment, and expanded the milling business. The first Gruber sawmill was started by his grandfather, Ed Gruber, in 1945 near Clancy, where he cut lumber for nearby ranches and farms. The mill is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it serves Lincoln County. You can reach them at 406-334-7283. Gruber Sawmill suits a landowner in Lincoln County who has wood to be sawn into lumber for a custom project, such as boards for a barn or a home build, and who wants to work with one local mill. It works as a mill, so a landowner looking for someone to buy standing timber or to handle the logging will want to look elsewhere. From grubersawmill.com, read 4 October 2026.

RBM Lumber Inc. is a sawmill and logging business in Columbia Falls, Montana. They've been at it since 1980, started by a family that's now in its third generation of running the place. They cut timber themselves and mill it into lumber, serving Flathead County and the wider Northwest Montana area. The species they work with include Douglas fir, fir, larch, hemlock, cedar, spruce, and Grand fir. Their approach leans toward "selective harvesting" rather than clear-cutting: they use smaller, less expensive logging equipment and hand saw each tree with a chainsaw, which they say keeps them "more in touch with the forest" and helps with decisions about what to take and what to leave. They also take in salvage timber, trees that are fire-killed, blown down, or beetle-killed. Once logs come in, they mill them into beams, rough lumber, siding, decking, flooring, trim, and paneling, and they run a door shop on site making solid wood doors from the lumber they cut. Nothing stated here gives a minimum tract size for timber sale work. This looks like a fit for a landowner in Flathead County or nearby who wants selective logging rather than a clear-cut, and who likes the idea of the logger and the mill being the same outfit.

Glacier Millworks is a sawmill based at 135 Industrial CT in Kalispell, Montana, in Flathead County. Rather than buying standing timber or logging tracts, they take cedar, douglas fir, and pine boards and turn them into finished products for building exteriors and interiors. Their work covers siding, exterior trim, fascia and soffit, wood accents, and tongue and groove ceiling boards. They describe their approach as "Montana-milled and Montana-finished," with boards custom-milled to the project and then hand-finished in house using what they call proprietary treatments. Customers can order a sample before committing to a full order. The company traces back to 2004, when Greg Riska and Bryant Bach got their start as day-labor painters before working their way up through the finish industry over the following two decades. Glacier Millworks grew out of that experience, built around in-house milling and finishing rather than outside suppliers. This is a fit for a landowner or builder who already has logs or lumber in hand and wants it custom milled and finished for siding, trim, or ceiling work, not someone looking to sell standing timber off their acreage.

Weyerhaeuser - Kalispell Plywood & Lumber is a mill in Evergreen, Montana. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.

Triple L Lumber Company Inc. is a sawmill in Bozeman, Montana, on Cobb Hill Road. It is not a timber buyer or a logging outfit. Instead it takes raw Douglas Fir and turns it into finished wood products for building. The work centers on kiln drying. The company runs its own dry kiln and drying sheds in Bozeman, and everything it mills is Douglas Fir. Products include circle sawn fir flooring, band sawn boards for paneling, ceilings, decks and siding, and custom beams and timbers cut to order, full sawn or FOHC. Custom beam packages take three to four weeks to process, while some FOHC beams and timbers can ship in one to three days. The company describes its goal as "architecturally dry lumber for the discerning home builder," and notes "We deliver" as part of how it gets product to customers. It serves Gallatin County and is based in Bozeman. The business was established in 2000, so it has been milling fir for over two decades from the same yard. This fits a landowner who already has Douglas Fir cut or milled and wants someone to kiln dry it and turn it into flooring, siding, beams, or trim, rather than someone to come appraise, buy, or log standing timber on their acres.

TimberKing Montana is listed under mills, based in Stevensville, Montana. It is named as the Northern Rockies dealer for TimberKing portable sawmills, the equipment line built by TimberKing, Inc., and the local contact is Joel Gordon. It is listed as serving Ravalli County, and shows up in the register under Granite County. This is not an outfit that comes out to buy your standing timber or run a logging crew on your land. It is a dealer in portable sawmill equipment, the kind of machine a landowner buys to cut their own logs into lumber on site, rather than selling the trees to someone else to haul off. The equipment itself is built in the USA and comes in a range of sizes, from a personal-sized mill up through heavier models with hydraulics for bigger logs. If you are the kind of landowner who wants to mill your own wood, cut your own lumber from trees on your 5 to 50 acres, and keep the work and the boards on your own property, this is worth a look. If what you want instead is someone to come assess your timber, make an offer, and do the cutting and hauling for you, this listing is not that kind of business.

Chapel Cedar is a sawmill in Troy, Montana. It's family owned and got its start as a post and rail fencing supplier more than thirty years ago, growing since into a full planing operation with two dry kilns. This isn't a business that buys standing timber off your land. It's a mill: "as a specialty sawmill, we handle all phases of custom log processing, including sawing, kiln-drying, and planing." They work mainly in western red cedar and pine, turning logs into decking, siding, trim, and fencing, plus higher-end lines like hand-hewn siding and their own "custom cut 'scorped' designed siding." They serve Lincoln County and describe themselves as "Northwest Montana's Full Service Mill." There's no acreage minimum stated, and nothing here points to a smallest job size either, so bring your logs and ask. This fits a landowner in Lincoln County who already has logs cut, or standing timber someone else will harvest, and who wants that wood sawn, dried, and planed into cedar or pine lumber and siding rather than sold as a stump sale.

Roundwood West Corporation is a sawmill in Seeley Lake, Montana, out on Old Sawmill Road. It's a family business, started back in 1974 as Nine Mile Posts and Rails west of Missoula, and moved to Seeley Lake in 1989. It's still family run. This isn't a place that buys standing timber off your land. They take small diameter Lodgepole Pine and turn it into roundwood products: doweled rails, furniture-quality roundwood, preserved fence posts and rails, and some unpeeled wood. Many of the doweled rails get split into a symmetrical half rail. They also run an Air Curtain Burner under a conditional burn permit and offer a retrieval bin service for slash, if you've got debris to deal with. They call themselves "competitively priced, quality doweled roundwood." They're set up in Missoula County and that's the area they serve. No acreage minimum is given, since this isn't a logging or land-clearing operation in the usual sense, it's a mill that works with small diameter timber brought to them. This one suits a landowner who already has Lodgepole Pine cut or available and wants it turned into fence rails, posts, or roundwood, or who needs slash cleared and burned, rather than someone looking for a crew to come harvest standing timber off the property.

Industrial Lumber Sales Inc. is a mill listed in the wholesale lumber trade, based in Hamilton, Montana. They describe themselves as "a strong force in the wholesale lumber industry," working out of Western Montana. This is a wholesale lumber business, not a service set up to walk a landowner through a timber sale on their own land. The founder has been in the lumber industry for over 30 years. They work with sawmills located throughout the country, and say they put a "high priority on defining and understanding exactly what our clients' needs are." No species, services, or acreage minimums are named, and the county shown for this listing is Ravalli. This fits someone already thinking in terms of wholesale lumber volume and mill relationships, rather than a landowner with a few acres of standing timber looking for a first explanation of how a sale works. From industriallbr.com, read 4 October 2026.

Camas Creek Custom Lumber is a working sawmill in Stevensville, Montana. If you've got logs on your own land and want them turned into usable wood, this is the kind of place that does that work directly, cutting "full-dimension lumber, timbers and beams for builders, lumber buyers and individual projects." They cut Douglas fir as their main species, with pine, larch, spruce and cottonwood available depending on the order and what's in stock. Besides milling your own logs, they offer timber-frame packages and will cut rough or planed finish, whatever the project calls for. The process starts with a quote request where you list species, dimensions, quantity and finish, and from there "Camas Creek reviews order details as part of the quote process" before talking price and availability. They've been at this since 1998, starting with a circle sawmill in Darby before moving to bandsaw milling and then to their own Stevensville property. Most customers pick up material at the mill; there's no routine local delivery, though freight can sometimes be arranged for large multi-state orders. They work out of Stevensville and are listed as serving Ravalli County. This one suits a landowner who already knows they want logs sawn into lumber or timbers rather than a standing-timber sale, and who doesn't mind hauling logs in or picking up finished material at the mill.

Stillwater Post and Pole LLC is a mill in Olney, Montana. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. A listing here is not an endorsement.

Thompson River Lumber is a sawmill and timber buyer in Thompson Falls, Montana, up in the northwestern part of the state. It was founded in 1993 by Roger Claridge as a family business, and it's still run that way today, with Dan Claridge handling the day to day work at the mill. If you've got timber to sell, this is a place that buys harvested logs straight from landowners. They say they pay a "fair and reasonable price," and they take timber ranging from 42 inches down to 5.6 inches on the top end, across five different species. When you sell to them, you work from a Log Purchase Agreement, and specific cutting instructions come as part of that timber contract package, so you know what's expected before any logging starts. They also do their own log receiving, loading, and shipping, moving lumber out by rail on BNSF and by truck. Beyond private landowners, Thompson River Lumber also partners with the Montana Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs on harvesting work tied to forest health. They have foresters on staff to talk through a sale or answer questions about where to go next with your timber. This looks like a fit for someone in or near northwestern Montana who already has timber cut, or close to it, and wants a straightforward buyer and mill rather than someone to walk a small, uncut tract from the ground up.
