BoardsBeamsSlabsFirewoodLogs+1 more

Old School Sawmill Co is a sawmill in Cortez, Colorado. They cut true dimensional rough-cut lumber to order, working in boards, beams, slabs, firewood, and logs, with delivery offered. They serve Montezuma County. They mill thickness from 1/4 inch up to 22 inches, and lengths from 8 to 25 feet. Board foot pricing starts at $0.95, with the price rising as width and length go up. For firewood, they offer rounds and cut-off slabs cut at firewood lengths, with delivery available. They say "we keep a small stock of boards on hand and save the bulk of our logs for your order," so most work is cut to what you ask for rather than pulled off a shelf. If you want work done, their process is simple: "the more detail the better: what you need, how much, and when." No species are named, and nothing is said about buying standing timber or harvesting and hauling logs off your land. This sounds like a mill set up to cut lumber you bring or order, not a service that comes out to log your acreage. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or who wants specific dimensional lumber, beams, or slabs cut to order, and who is near Cortez or Montezuma County.

harvestingmillingproducing sustainable Aspen wood paneling

Aspen Wall Wood is a sawmill in Dolores, Colorado. It was started in the mid-'70s making primarily pine paneling and lumber, then moved into Aspen in the 80s and has spent years perfecting that process. The work covers harvesting, milling, and producing Aspen wood paneling, along with firewood, wallplank, shavings, and other Aspen wood products. Aspen is the species they work with, and their own words call the company "the original Aspen paneling facility and established leader in harvesting, milling and producing sustainable Aspen wood paneling." They list Montezuma County as served. Products move out "directly from our lumber yard, local lumber stores and a variety of major distributors," so this is a mill with an established sales channel rather than a one-off buyer showing up on your land. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no mention of buying standing timber or working directly with landowners on a timber sale, so if you're a landowner with a stand of Aspen wanting to know who'd cut and mill it, you'd want to call and ask how they source their logs. This fits a landowner near Dolores with Aspen timber who wants to reach an established Colorado mill with decades in the Aspen paneling business, rather than someone looking for a full-service timber sale walked through step by step.

custom millingDimensional Lumber & TimbersLog SidingCarving Productsfalling the trees+1 more

Ott's Sawmill is a sawmill and logging outfit in Mancos, Colorado. It is a small, family-run operation that has been cutting in Mancos for over 40 years, running a historic belt-driven circular sawmill. They serve Montezuma County. The work covers the whole chain: falling the trees, limbing them, hauling them out, and milling them. They mill strictly ponderosa pine, all to custom order, turning out dimensional lumber and timbers, hand-peeled log siding, D-logs, log beams, and carving products like custom steel plates and corbels. "All Order Sizes are Welcome," so whether you need a few boards or a full load, they'll take the job. Their timber comes from local thinning and timber management work, not from buying it in from far off. They describe it as sourcing "through small, sustainable thinning and timber management projects," which fits landowners doing stand improvement cuts rather than a clear-cut harvest. To get on their cut list, you call, text, or email and they get back to you. This fits a landowner near Mancos who wants custom-milled ponderosa pine lumber or log products from their own trees, done by a small local mill rather than a large commercial buyer.

How much is my timber worth in Montezuma 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 Montezuma 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.
