About Us
Being mechanical engineers by trade and woodlot owners themselves living in rural North America, Neil and Josh began prototyping designs for forestry equipment in response to the poor selection of these products available in the market. It seemed that everything that was of good quality was extremely expensive and anything at a reasonable price point didn’t have the durability and craftsmanship required to meet the needs of a discerning handyman. Realizing that through a process of innovative design, cost effective manufacturing and selling directly to the customer thereby eliminating middleman markup, they could offer products with the same exceptional performance and construction as much more expensive models but at a price point that hobbyists could justify! With these objectives in mind, Neil and Josh began their quest to design the highest quality, best valued forestry equipment available in the market.
As milling enthusiasts, the first product they chose to tackle was a portable sawmill for acreage owners. After many design iterations and extensive field testing a prototype was achieved that offered the perfect balance of durability, portability and precision cutting capabilities. Equipped with a heavy duty frame and the reliable Kohler engine, this mill was designed to last and provide sawyers with many years of milling enjoyment.
The Quest for Manufacturing Excellence
The next hurdle was to find a manufacturing partner that could consistently deliver the superior quality required to meet Woodland Mills standards, and for a cost that enabled offering these products to consumers at unbeatable price points. Utilizing his years of experience sourcing automotive components for a major North American auto manufacturer, Neil began his global search for the perfect manufacturing partner. After a comprehensive assessment of many potential suppliers, a manufacturer based in China was selected as the best source to meet all the requirements – including state of the art manufacturing equipment, skilled management and workforce, advanced assembly processes and rigorous quality assurance processes. To ensure that every single unit meets our high quality control requirements, the product is fully assembled within the plant for inspection before being partially disassembled for shipping. With a design locked down and manufacturing partner in place, production of Woodland Mills flagship HM126 sawmill commenced in 2010.
Since the initial HM126 launch, Woodland Mills has continued designing and innovating a wide selection of forestry products including Wood Chippers, Stump Grinders, ATV trailers, Forestry Winches, Sawmill Trailers and Firewood Processors. By listening to our extremely creative and talented customers, Woodland Mills has continuously strived to make improvements to our existing products and expand our lineup to meet your needs. Staying true to our vision, Woodland Mills has grown to become a global leader in offering well constructed, affordable forestry equipment to do-it-yourself landowners across North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Africa. To this day, our team of engineers located in Ontario, Canada passionately continue their quest of ensuring that our entire line up of Woodland Mills forestry equipment remain the highest quality, best valued forestry equipment in the industry worldwide!

Our Sawmill Story
In 2009, Woodland Mills began designing and manufacturing sawmills after recognizing a need in the industry for well engineered, affordable mills built specifically for do-it-yourself landowners with excess trees and a vision!
To fill this void, Woodland Mills set out to design a solidly constructed sawmill that would enable industrious landowners to convert trees into lumber at a price that was easy to justify! A sawmill for handy individuals who enjoy projects in the great outdoors and prefer milling their own lumber rather than paying the high prices charged by lumber stores!
Knowing that for a sawmill to be great, it must be tough enough to stand up to any challenges our customers may throw at it and offer the same cutting precision and quality as the much more expensive mills do. And it was with these guiding principles in mind, that Woodland Mills built engineers began their quest to design the highest quality, best valued portable sawmill in the industry.
Growing our sawmill lineup to fit our customers needsFrom the launch of our very first portable sawmill, the HM126, we knew we had built a great mill that our customers loved, but we also recognized there is always opportunity for improvement. We also realized that the needs of all sawyers are not all equal! Therefore, we expanded our lineup to include the beefier HM130 sawmill with higher horsepower and greater cutting capacity for sawyers requiring the ability to cut massive logs, and the HM122, ideal for weekend warriors who also require precision cutting but are willing to forgo big log milling capabilities for an even more exceptional price point. Since then, our engineers have made it their continued mission to ensure these 3 models live up to our expectations of being the highest quality, best valued sawmills in the industry.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there! In response to our customers telling us how much they love our mills, but really wish we offered a trailer based version that could be towed through rough terrain or on the highway, we answered with our Woodlander series of sawmill trailers. Now sawyers can take their milling operations mobile, while still experiencing the same high-quality milling experience as they always have with Woodland Mills sawmills!
But simply building an exceptional sawmill for an amazing price isn’t enough. Where Woodland Mills really shines and what sets us miles above the competition is the phenomenal level of customer and technical support we provide to each of our customers. As you can see from our customer reviews, we make it our mission to ensure that your entire Woodland Mills experience, from the early stages of your sawmill research, to many years into your milling expeditions, we are there to support you in any way we can.So whether you are a hobby woodworker, have some big projects on the horizon or want to earn some extra money, we have the right sawmill for you.
