Spike Milton Timber Services

03/02/2026

With over 40 years’ experience in forestry and sawmilling, Spike is your local timber supplier for both domestic and commercial projects.

Make the most of your fallen timber. Using our range of forestry tractors and mobile sawmills, we can move and mill almost anything — all on your property. From beams to planks, hardwood or softwood, we help you get the best return from your timber without the cost or hassle of transport.

We travel anywhere in the South West and mill timber to your exact requirements, whether for large-scale building projects or DIY at home — from raised beds to table and bar tops.

We keep hardwood and softwood in stock and can cut lengths of up to 20 feet. Available products include live-edge and air-dried planks, square planks, slabs, beams, lintels and posts. All timber is available to view, with bespoke orders welcome.

Firewood is available as pre-cut logs or can be processed at your home. Local delivery available.

We also supply handmade items including cake stands, cheese boards and chopping boards on request.

Please feel free to contact me for a chat to discuss your individual requirements on 07773428701 or contact via Messenger or WhatsApp

A few pictures of the past week.
Nice local job to dismantle and winch out a very dangerous broken ash tree over the river.
And took ownership of a new sawmill, ready for a busy 2026 for all your mobile milling projects.

We’ve been a little off grid for a while as we relocated back to my home on Dartmoor. So much to share with you and hope the photos give you a taster of life down here in Devon!
Here’s a few pictures of our latest milling project working on the Dartmoor peatland restoration project, plus a few others including the newly reformed Devon Axe Team, cider making and moor land life…
And very pleased to announce that we will be extending our services to include our very own Spike Milton Dartmoor Axe Academy. Watch this space, or message me, for further,
information regarding bookings for an amazing action weekend learning the skills of lumberjack sports of axe racing, cross cut sawing and traditional green forestry, all based here in our beautiful home in the heart of Dartmoor. If you’ve never been, you should!
