Eastside Mill & Lumber Co is a sawmill and wood shop in Mammoth Lakes, California. They mill and work old growth indigenous species: Red Fir, White Fir, Jeffrey Pine, Lodgepole Pine, and White Pine, and they describe themselves as a "full service wood shop specializing in high quality, live edge slabs." Their logs come from Fuel Reduction Projects in the Eastern Sierra, and they serve Mono County. The work they take on includes custom woodworking such as bartops, countertops, tables, shelving, and live edge slabs, along with flooring and siding. Their flooring runs a full inch thick, 8 to 14 feet long, in widths from 5 to 24 inches, rough sawn on top and sanded smooth underneath with tongue and groove edges for blind nailing or screw installation. All their wood is air dried to "equilibrium moisture content less than 8%, equivalent to kiln-dried lumber." Eastside Mill and Lumber Co was established in 2024 to carry on the legacy of Drake Wood Milling. This fits a landowner near the Eastern Sierra whose trees are coming down through a fuel reduction project and who wants that wood turned into flooring, siding, or custom pieces rather than sold off as raw timber.

How much is my timber worth in Mono 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Mono 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.
