Mills

701 Sawmill is a custom milling business in Mandan, North Dakota, on County Road 139. It has operated since 2016. This is a sawmill set up to cut your own logs for you, not a standing timber buyer. You bring the logs and they custom mill them to your size and finish, whether that's rough-cut lumber for a building project or live edge slabs for furniture, countertops, or mantels. They work in black walnut and other locally milled hardwoods. The live edge slabs get cut to various thicknesses and widths, kiln dried down to 8 percent moisture, then run through the planer to flatten them. They also "buy high end logs in a wide variety of species" if you'd rather sell than have your wood milled. Work is "Appointment only," so you'd call ahead to set up a visit to the mill. They serve customers across North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana, with Morton County named as an area they cover. Past projects shown include a 16-foot black walnut live edge table, a kitchen island countertop, open shelving, a desk, and table tops built for a local brewery, all cut from logs on site. This fits a landowner with black walnut or other hardwood logs who wants those specific logs turned into slabs or lumber, or who has high-end logs to sell outright, rather than someone looking for a full timber harvest or forestry advice on standing acreage.

Heartwood Grains LLC is a sawmill and small woodworking shop in Belfield, North Dakota, run by owner Corey Simnioniw. The business says its specialty is lumber that's "logged, milled, kiln dried, and finished per request." They serve Billings County. Most of their wood comes from deadfall and live trees downed by storms in the local area, in species like ash, elm, olive, spruce, pine, juniper (cedar), and cottonwood. They'll also work with wood from elsewhere, including a log off your own place, "especially if it helps you produce something handmade using a log from your own place." Their mill handles logs up to 24 inches across and 16 feet long. Once milled, boards can go through their kiln, which runs up to 4,000 board feet per load, with drying settings adjusted for the wood type and moisture. From there they do custom finish work, turning the lumber into furnishings, benches, shelves, and similar pieces built from the same wood. This fits a landowner who has a tree, a storm-downed log, or a small batch of logs they want turned into something to keep, rather than a stand of timber to sell as it stands. If what you want is your own wood milled, dried, and finished into a usable piece, Heartwood Grains LLC is built for that kind of job, not for buying standing timber off larger acreage.

McStash Mills is a sawmill in Hillsboro, North Dakota. It serves Traill county, and it's a custom milling operation, not a timber buyer, so this is the place to call once your trees are already down and you want them cut into lumber. They work in cottonwood and basswood, and with their mill they "can now cut up to a 39 in round log and 38 in wide slabs." Their services cover custom milling, custom tables made from live edge slabs and quartered logs, and axe throwing target boards. They describe themselves as "a small family run sawmill based out of our homestead in Hillsboro ND." There's no stated acreage minimum, but given the kind of work shown, this looks suited to a landowner with a log or two to mill rather than a standing timber sale. If you've got downed trees, salvage logs, or slabs you want turned into something useful, this is the kind of outfit that handles that, not one that walks your woods and makes an offer on standing timber.

Dakota Millwork is a mill in Bismarck, North Dakota, serving Burleigh County. It is listed as a mill, but its work goes beyond cutting logs. From its shop at 966 Industrial Dr., it turns out "CUSTOM MOULDINGS", corner blocks, stair parts, hardwood lumber, and laser engraving. This is finishing and woodworking work, not a service built around buying standing timber or walking a woodlot to size up trees. If you have hardwood lumber already cut, or need trim, casing, or stair parts made to match an older house, this is the kind of shop that does that. Dakota Millwork suits a landowner or homeowner who needs custom millwork made from hardwood, not one looking to sell timber still standing on their land.
