Craig Sawmill is a small sawmill in Craig, Colorado, run by Mountain Pine Manufacturing. It turns beetle-kill pine and aspen logs into lumber and wood products, and says it is "helping to mitigate the risk of wildfires in our area" by using beetle-kill pine. What they make: rough sawn lumber, fence products, firewood, erosion control stakes, survey and garden stakes, bark mulch, tongue and groove boards, and garden beds. Pine is the main wood, with aspen hardwood logs also used for some products. Orders are "custom cut when ordered and are actual measurements." To get things moving, you text them a lumber take-off and they call you back, and picking up at the mill in Craig will speed your order along. Craig Sawmill serves Moffat County and describes covering the area around Craig, including Hayden, Milner, Steamboat Springs, Maybell, and Baggs, Wyoming. This fits a landowner near Craig who already has logs or beetle-kill pine down and wants it cut into usable lumber, fencing, stakes, or mulch, rather than someone looking for a buyer to come harvest standing timber off their land.

How much is my timber worth in Moffat 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 Moffat 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.
