Independent Stave Co.
About Independent Stave Co.
Independent Stave Co. buys timber in Arkansas, working out of a cooperage business that has been going since 1912. They are after white oak and walnut, mainly stave logs, hardwood sawlogs, and ply or veneer logs, and they have Master Logger credentials. They cover a long list of Arkansas counties, including Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Cleburne, Pulaski, Saline, Sebastian, White, and Yell, among many others across the state. Their log procurement side works with local loggers to harvest wood sustainably, and their forestry and land management arm builds land management plans for the ground they handle, covering timber harvest, invasive plant control, and thinning to improve forest health. They've said plainly that "when we own the land, there is complete control over the process, both from a quality and sustainability standpoint." There's no stated minimum acreage for buying logs from a landowner's property. The only acreage figure they show is a land purchase of 8,016 forested acres near Somerset, Kentucky, so that gives a sense of the scale they're used to working at when they own ground outright, though that's a land purchase, not a stated floor for a log sale. This fits a landowner with a serious stand of white oak or walnut who wants a buyer tied to a long-running mill operation, rather than someone with a small mixed woodlot looking for a quick, informal sale.
