Bakerized Custom Chainsaws

The performance enhancing chain saw Bakerization mods were developed by Timberland to meet the demand for a ruggedized customization that improves horsepower and cutting speed, while significantly reducing friction-based power loss.

Simply put, a Bakerized chainsaw is a smoother, more powerful, cooler running, longer lasting wood chip churning machine that allows you to complete your work more quickly and efficiently.

“If you opt for a custom Chainsaw, just remember it will only be as good as your Product Support Team & You. I cannot heap enough praise upon Dan, Grant, & Adam of TimberlandSupply.ca in Edmonton, AB. Absolute consummate professionals. I most-highly recommend this firm for the very reason that this is the single-best customer service that I have ever received in my lifetime of 65-years!!!“–Gerald Higgs (Click here to read more)

Your customized chainsaw will be one-of-a-kind.

We start the Bakerization by disassembling the entire engine right down to the bare crankcase. We then perform some or all of the following modifications, depending entirely upon your preferences and the exact make and model of your saw:

• Replace steel crank bearings with custom ceramic bearings
• Plane the cylinder to reduce cylinder height
• Port and polish intake and exhaust
• Install custom-built Timberland high-performance piston and rings
• Modify muffler
• Modify air intake
• Apply ceramic and heat dissipating coatings, custom graphics and other modifications based on customer preference

The completed Bakerization process results in a much more powerful saw, with the following enhancements:

• Significantly reduced rolling friction loss
• Less vibration
• Faster cutting
• Less time to full RPM
• Less heat generation due to friction
• Longer lasting
• Lighter weight

And if you have taken advantage of our Thermal and Heat Dissipating Coating options, you can generate even more power by further enhancing the thermodynamic and volumetric efficiency of your Bakerized saw.

You don’t need to just take our word for it. We know that our Bakerized saws are better, and we invite you to come in and try one out for yourself! Visit our store and we’ll let you try a Bakerized saw (call ahead to make sure we have one available) and compare it to the same model of stock saw. You will see, hear, and feel the difference.

But be warned – after experiencing the difference, you won’t be satisfied with your stock saw.  Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Bakerization Warranty

Timberland Supply protects all new Stihl and Husqvarna Bakerized saws with the same warranty coverage as the original equipment manufacturers provide on their stock saws. Please see manufacturer’s website for warranty details and contact us prior to attempting a repair.

For all repair or service-related issues, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay all shipping costs associated with returning the saw to us at our location in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This is so that we may inspect the saw and determine the cause of the issue.

If it is determined that the issue is warrantable (as determined by the manufacturer’s warranty guidelines and approval process), then Timberland Supply will complete all warrantable repairs at no cost and pay for the return shipping to the original shipping address. If it is determined that the issue is non-warrantable (as determined by the manufacturer’s warranty guidelines and approval process) then the customer will be responsible for all the costs of repairs and the return shipping to the original address.

In all cases where you may encounter an issue with your Bakerized saw, you are strongly advised to contact us as soon as you are able.

*NEW* Blackout Option

To really show off your Bakerized custom chain saw, try our new “Blackout” add-on option.  The saws pictured below are the Bakerized MS462 and MS 201T Blackout Edition. We can add Blackout to all models (new saws ONLY!) with the cost starting at $99.95.

Here are answers to some of the questions we commonly get about our chainsaw customization services.

I want to get a brand new Bakerized saw from you. How long does it take and what’s the process?

We have some models ready to go today but we typically build them as they are ordered. It usually takes 10-15 business days to build a Bakerized saw from the time that it is ordered and payment has been confirmed. We will work evenings and weekends if you absolutely need it sooner.

We take a deposit before we start the build, and final payment once the saw is ready. We prefer EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) but we can accommodate wire transfer payments as well. We also accept personal or company cheques and we start the build once the cheque clears our bank. If you are sending us your new saw with a cheque included, we will begin the build within 5-7 days of receiving your saw, and we will ship your saw once your cheque clears our bank. Conditions apply.

Which are the best saws to Bakerize?

Most professional saws manufactured by either STIHL or Husqvarna are well-suited for this performance upgrade. Other professional saws from brands such as Echo, Jonsered and Sachs Dolmar are also candidates.     

I have an older saw that I want to Bakerize. It’s been a great saw and it runs pretty good. Can you Bakerize it?

Due to the overwhelming demand from our customers to Bakerize their existing saws, we have decided to once again work on non-new saws. Please read the policy below on “Bakerizing Non-New Saws” carefully. You must contact us and get approval prior to bringing us your saw.

Can I ship my saw to you for customization?

Yes, you may ship a new and unused saw. You must contact us and get approval prior to shipping us your used saw.

Most of us have an “Old Faithful” favourite saw (or 3) that has served us well and we have grown to truly appreciate. That old adage “they don’t make them like they used to” is true – they don’t. The reality is that much of the new technology is superior, but it doesn’t have the same feel and it’s not what we are used to. So, if you really want us to put some new life into your favourite saw, we will do our best to make that happen. However, there are some things you need to be aware of if you want us to upgrade “Old Faithful”:

1. You need to contact us first and let us know what you have. If we feel it’s a saw that we can work with, we will have you send us your saw. You will be responsible for draining all the fuel and oil, then properly packaging and shipping your saw to us.
2. Shipping can be expensive and return shipping can add $200+ to your cost.
3. We will take video and photos of your saw when we receive it. There are always several unknowns when we are working on any non-new saw. Even though you feel that your saw is running fine, we won’t really know how good a candidate it is until we test run it and then pull the engine apart. We will video and take photos of this too. Your saw must be in proper running condition before we begin any performance modifications. This means that all the major components including carb, ignition, clutch and starter are working just as they should.
4. Any non-new saw will have wear on both the piston and the cylinder. As a key part of our performance mod is the extensive work that we do to the piston and cylinder, these components need to be in great shape before we can upgrade them.
5. If we need to repair any of these systems or replace any major components before we start a performance upgrade, we will send you a link to the video as well as a quote for the necessary repairs. You will need to approve the quote before we proceed.
6. It’s your money and we understand that you’ve worked hard for it and we want to give you something you are happy with. If you start adding up new jugs and pistons, carbs, sprockets, etc., it can potentially get very pricey. We know you love your old saw and we will do our best to get it how you want it. But please be aware that you may have been able to get a brand new Bakerized saw delivered to your front door for about the same (or potentially less) money.

All our work is covered by our 30-day warranty which applies to any system we have worked on and any new parts that we have installed. Customer is responsible for all costs associated with shipping to Timberland. If the repair is warrantable, Timberland will complete the repair at no cost and pay for return shipping.
