Big Sticks Timber
When massive trees come down regular sawmills can struggle to handle them, so they tend to get turned into woodchip or firewood. Big Sticks Timber has the UK’s largest mobile sawmill, we can salvage and mill these colossal beasts, and we love the challenge of dealing with stuff nobody else is set up to handle. If you have a massive tree that has fallen or needs to come down, and you’re not sure what to do with it – we can help!
Crafting Timeless Timber from Scotland’s Giants
Big Sticks Timber is dedicated to transforming large, challenging trees into sustainable timber products. Rather than pulp or burn these beautiful beasts, we think there is a better way for these ancient giants to carry on their legacy, even after they come down. We don’t fell anything which doesn’t have to come down, so we deal with stormfall, salvage from existing sites, and handle trees which have become dangerous through rot, damage and senescence.
Petersen Mobile Sawmills
We use Petersen mobile sawmills, and so far they have been able to handle everything we’ve thrown at them.
Salvaging Unique Timber
Some of the really big trees that come down represent an opportunity to create some truly unique timber which might otherwise be lost to firewood.
On-Site Milling Convenience
Our mobile sawmill brings precision cutting to your location, reducing transport needs and making the extraction of fallen trees in sensitive areas much easier.
Sustainable Wood Repurposing
By repurposing old trees, we help reduce deforestation and promote eco-friendly craftsmanship in every plank.

We work with a large variety of other building materials, as well as timber. We also reclaim building stone and various grades of aggregate from excavated material so it can be recycled or reused
