Millworkz is a wood mill in Arnold, California, the kind of place you drive up to and walk through rather than call for a standing timber sale. It describes itself as "your local wood mill with a huge selection of quality slabs & DIY materials, located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mtns." It serves Calaveras County. The work here is milling, not buying or logging standing timber. They take logs and cut them stock or custom, dry the wood in their own in-house kiln, and offer flooring, including limited runs in walnut, alder, and pine. Species on hand include walnut, alder, pine, and what they call bark beetle kill wood, prized for the blue streaking the beetles leave behind. They say "we value sustainable practices," and describe using trees that have been beetle killed, come down naturally, or been marked by PG&E as a danger to power lines, rather than letting that wood go to waste. There's no described process for a standing timber sale, no stated minimum acreage, and no credentials listed. This is a showroom and mill you visit in person, open Thursday through Sunday, with Monday through Wednesday set aside for milling and appointments. Millworkz suits a landowner who already has logs down, whether from beetle kill, storm damage, or utility clearing, and wants them custom milled, kiln dried, and turned into slabs or flooring, rather than someone looking for a buyer to walk their woods and make an offer on standing timber.

How much is my timber worth in Calaveras County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Calaveras County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.
