American Harvested, veteran fueled

Matthew is a retired veteran who founded his company with a mission rooted in service beyond the military. Driven by a desire to support fellow veterans, he built the company to create opportunities for connection, purpose, and meaningful work. His vision was not only to build a successful business, but also to help veterans regain confidence, strengthen community ties, and create sustainable futures after military service. 

His company, Burlwood Supply, provides workable, organic, purpose-driven burl wood that is carefully sourced, felled, dimensionally cut, sanded, and prepared by local veterans across North Carolina. Every piece reflects not only the natural beauty of the wood itself, but also the craftsmanship, dedication, and mission behind the process. The mission continues creating meaningful work and opportunities for the veteran community. With the help of his HM122 Portable Sawmill, this idea has created some amazing opportunities!

“To say I’m impressed would be an understatement, says Matthew. Investing in the smaller mill has completely changed the way we work. From day one, the performance, reliability, and overall build quality exceeded our expectations. It handles the perfect size logs for our operation without needing oversized equipment, which has made the entire process more efficient and cost-effective."

The burls Matthew harvests can be unpredictable and incredibly tough to cut, but the HM122 Portable Sawmill powers through them with consistency and precision. The cuts Matthew achieves are clean, the operation is smooth, and it keeps up with demanding workloads without hesitation!

Reliability You Can Count On

"Over the time we’ve owned it, we’ve had ZERO issues outside of standard maintenance like blade and belt changes," explains Matthew. "That kind of reliability is hard to find these days, especially when you rely on your equipment every single day. It’s dependable, easy to operate, and built to work as hard as we do"

When building a business and growing a strong community around it, having equipment you can rely on is essential. You need machinery that performs to a high standard day after day, equipment that can keep up with the workload, deliver consistent results, and support the foundation you’re working hard to build.

Support beyond the sale!

"What truly sets Woodland Mills apart, though, is their customer service. Whether someone is making a $3,000 investment or a $30,000 investment, having a company that stands behind its products is critical." says Matthew. "Woodland Mills has gone far beyond what most companies would consider good customer service. They’ve delivered exceptional support every step of the way. Questions are answered quickly, communication is clear, and they genuinely care about their customers’ success."

Strong customer service can make all the difference, especially when someone is investing in equipment that plays a major role in their business, livelihood, or passion. Having access to knowledgeable support gives people confidence, saves valuable time, and helps prevent small issues from becoming major setbacks. It creates trust, builds long-term relationships, and reminds customers that they are more than just a sale. When a company is responsive, dependable, and willing to help, it allows people to focus less on problems and more on growing their business, developing their skills, and doing the work they love with confidence.

"It’s rare to find a company that combines quality equipment with this level of support and integrity," shares Matthew. "Woodland Mills has been on time, on target, and above and beyond in every aspect. We couldn’t be happier with our investment and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable mill backed by people who truly stand behind what they sell."
