Timberdoodle Farm & Sawmill
About Timberdoodle Farm & Sawmill
Timberdoodle Farm & Sawmill is a sawmill and logging business based in Strafford, New Hampshire. They cut timber, clear land, saw custom lumber, kiln-dry it, and offer ecological forestry consulting, so a landowner can go from standing trees to finished boards with one outfit. They work with softwood and hardwood, and do a fair amount of pine tree removal where pines are shading out solar panels or garden space. Jobs include timber harvesting and logging, land-clearing, custom sawmilling, kiln drying, surfacing and custom profiles, and ecological forestry consulting. On a harvest, they handle the paperwork with you, usually an Intent to Cut filed with the town, and bring in a licensed forester when needed. They describe their approach as "ecologically responsible timber harvests" and say their work can "look pretty big" while they try to keep it "woods-sensitive." They cover a stretch of New Hampshire and Maine towns including Strafford, Dover, Durham, Barrington, Farmington, Northwood, Concord, Lee, Madbury, Gilmanton, Eliot, ME and Berwick, ME, and say they're willing to travel outside that area if asked. They've worked on both small lots and full farms. Miles and Katrina Amaral started the business in 2010 on a homemade chainsaw mill out of a driveway in Madbury. Both are certified lumber graders under New Hampshire's Native Lumber Law, and they belong to the NH Timberland Owners Association, the Northeast Loggers Association, and the Forest Stewards Guild. The smallest acreage they mention taking on is 0.5 acres, as part of jobs ranging from small lots up to 300-acre farms. This fits a landowner who wants one business to both log the trees and turn them into usable lumber, rather than separate contractors for each step. From timberdoodlesawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.
