About Goosebay Sawmill & Lumber, Inc.
Goosebay Sawmill & Lumber, Inc. is a family-owned and operated sawmill and lumber yard in Chichester, New Hampshire. Founded in 1978 when Carl Mahlstedt Sr. acquired the property and started a sawmill operation after a career in the Merchant Marine, the business has run continuously for over 45 years. The company operates a fully electric, solar-powered band saw mill (its fourth) that processes locally harvested species such as hemlock, pine, cherry, walnut, curly maple, and butternut into live-edge slabs and dimensional lumber. It kiln-dries lumber on-site using vacuum kilns, offering figured maple in thicknesses up to 16/4. A retail barn built in 1998 houses domestic and exotic hardwoods, cabinet-grade and marine plywood, finishes from West System, Fiddes, Rubio Monocoat, EcoPoxy, Real Milk Paint, and Bumblechutes, plus metal roofing from American Building Components. Custom flooring and millwork are also produced in-house. Goosebay serves cabinetmakers, contractors, artisans, hobbyists, municipal projects, and manufacturers. Customers include boat builders needing marine-grade lumber and plywood, artists seeking exotic and domestic turning woods, and homeowners building decks and pergolas. The company also offers wholesale and bulk pricing for larger orders. The venture began because Mahlstedt wanted a home-based business on the property and named it after Goosebay, Labrador, where he had traveled during his Merchant Marine service. The company emphasizes on-site sawing and vacuum kiln drying, a deep inventory of figured maple, and a solar-powered mill as key differentiators.
