Story
Saw & Mill Company: Built in the Woods
We’re more than makers — we’re a community of people who live for the outdoors.
Saw & Mill Company was born from time spent deep in the woods, far from anything with a screen or a plug. Our roots are in salvaged wood and handcrafted pieces, but our spirit comes from the places without trail markers, where the road gets rough and the wild is still wild.
We are the ones who spend our free time in the forest, on the river, and high in the mountains — where the deeper you go, the more you learn about who you really are. Out there, when things don’t go as planned and there’s no backup plan, that’s when the real adventure begins. That’s where character is built — and that’s where you’ll find us.
We started by turning fallen trees into raw, beautiful tables and benches. Then we took that same hands-on, rugged mindset and built a brand around it — one that outfits others who live this way too. From durable tools and outdoor-ready clothing to gear made to last through the hard miles, everything we make is tested by nature and forged by the journey.
Saw & Mill Company is for those who carve their own path — and leave something meaningful behind.
It all started with a return to nature.
As an adult, I felt the pull to reconnect with the land; the same land my family had lived on for generations. I began salvaging old fallen and dead trees scattered across our property, giving them a second life by crafting simple, functional pieces for the people I care about most.
With time and a lot of trial and error I bought my first Alaskan chainsaw mill. That tool changed everything. I was no longer just salvaging wood; I was shaping raw, forgotten trees into handcrafted tables and benches that carried a story in every grain and knot.
I wanted to keep the beauty of nature front and center. Each piece I made was left as raw and real as possible no over-sanding, no over-finishing. Just the honest character of the wood, preserved and elevated.
That’s when Saw & Mill Company was born.
What started as a passion project turned into a small business. We began selling our creations at local markets, using each sale to reinvest in better tools and equipment. Over time, we expanded — not just in what we made, but in what we stood for.
Today, Saw & Mill Company is more than woodworking. It’s a lifestyle rooted in craftsmanship, connection to the outdoors, and the belief that what we build — and wear — should last. Our collection now includes durable tools, outdoor gear, and clothing made for makers, adventurers, and anyone who values quality and grit.
Whether you're milling your own slab or hiking deep into the woods, we're here to help you bring a little more nature into your life and maybe leave something meaningful behind.
