Wilkins Lumber
Wilkins Lumber is a small, family-owned lumber mill located in Milford, New Hampshire. We have been providing native wood products to the Souhegan Valley since 1808. Our mill carries a rich and storied history and has survived the Great Depression, a fire and being struck by lightning in the first half of the 1900s.

We owe our long term success to dedication, perseverance and hard work; continuing to provide lumber to Southern New Hampshire into the 21st Century. We offer log-to-lumber service, beginning with selective harvesting for local timberland owners. Most of the lumber we produce is hemlock and pine, price list is here.
Services
In 1808 E. L. Hartshorn and his relatives and neighbors started a sawmill on what is now known as Hartshorn Brook, which was powered by the dammed-up water of the brook. Hartshorn turned the sawmill and his farm over to his son, Jotham Hartshorn, who operated the mill during the seasons which didn't require much farming activity.
We can't compete with big box building supply stores, and we don't try. We don't have nails, or insulation, or paint. What we do have is high quality softwood lumber, all milled from trees harvested within about 30 miles of Milford. Because we're small, we can often cut just what you need, whether it be joists, beams, siding or floorboards.

If you want rough cut pine from helpful friendly people then Wilkins Lumber is your place. It is an old fashioned saw mill so there is nothing like a showroom.

This is a fantastic sawmill. I stopped by to pick up rough cut timbers. There are all widths and thicknesses here. While I was interested in rough cut - some so fresh that some of the boards were still wet - there was a nice selection that was under cover that looked planed and dry. The folks here are down to earth and super helpful and friendly. This is a lumber yard, so come for the wood be it 2x4 or 8x8 posts or something in between.

Friendly, helpful folks. Great place to pick up rough sawn softwood (e.g. pine and spruce) lumber for rustic projects. ** Due to covid-19 projects, their stock is somewhat depleted. **

I have gone to Wilkins twice to pick up 12 yards of wood chips for my daughter's playground area. What a nice bunch of guys to work with! Casey assisted me both times, he even gave my two girls a walk through tour of how the wood gets processed on our second trip there- nothing is wasted, my girls were impressed! Best prices around, go check them out for all your wood-related needs!

#1 they have an awesome voicemail. #2 everyone is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. I called about live edge boards and they called me right back when I left a voicemail. He knew everything down to the widths perfectly. Wilkins will definitely be my go to!

Love this place, and everyone there has been helpful. Purchase 6 inch pine vlap to do my bedroom floors in the cabin. The hand delivered at a very reasonable price. I hand way less scrap then anticipated. I was able to bring back my excess for a 25% restocking fee.

Don't go anywhere else for rough-cut lumber. I've built two small barns with Wilkins lumber and they're really great to work with.

I have used Wilkins lumber mill products for different projects in my home for 25 yrs. Pine ship lap siding, tung and groove and pine boards. Hemlock beam; you name it.
Great, local mill with nice employees!

Ordered a cord of firewood from Wilkins - best prices around, free delivery, and a nice clean load of quality hardwood. They were friendly and delivered the wood when promised.
