Custom Wood Cutting ServiceCUSTOM MILLINGLive Edge Wood CuttingRough-Cut LumberLive-Edge Slabs

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.

How much is my timber worth in Morton County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Morton County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
