Holz-Mühle ist die Ueberschrift einer Beschreibung des Brettspiels von einem bestimmten Hersteller.
Es handelt sich dabei um das Brettspiel Mühle, aus Holz gefertigt. Mühle ist meines Wissens nach Nine Men's Morris, aber ich kann mich nicht auf die eleganteste Lösung für HOLZ-Mühle entscheiden. Probegoogeln ergab weder viele Hits für 'Wood Nine Men's Morris', noch für 'Wooden Nine Men's Morris', und 'Nine Men's Morris from wood' oder 'made from wood' klingt auch nicht so elegant finde ich, vor allem in einer Ueberschrift.

...and you could add "hand-crafted", or some suitable description before the "wood" (if there's anything like that in the source text, of course).
