Golden West Pine Mills, LLC is a sawmill in Ault, Colorado. They produce rough sawn lumber, timbers and millwork, working with ponderosa pine and Douglas fir. They harvest their own timber and run it through their own remanufacturing facility, turning rough lumber into boards, beams, paneling, flooring, mouldings and doors. Their service list covers surfacing, sanding, ripping, moulding and resawing, each with its own minimum charge and per-foot pricing. Beyond the fixed mill in Ault, they also run a portable mill that works throughout Colorado, so they can come to timber rather than only working from the yard. They serve Weld County. They are a member of the Colorado Forest Products program and say "we guarantee that 100% of our wood products are harvested from Colorado forests." There is no stated minimum acreage for landowners bringing in timber. This outfit is built for the milling and finishing side of wood, not for walking a landowner through a standing timber sale. If what you want is someone to cut your logs into lumber or custom millwork, using wood that stayed in Colorado the whole way through, this is the kind of business to call.

T C Woods is a sawmill and custom furniture shop in Fort Lupton, Colorado, serving Weld county. It isn't a timber buyer or logger. It's the place you go once the tree is down and you want it turned into boards. The work here is custom milling: "We provide custom milling of your logs with our bandsaw or chainsaw." They also re-saw cants at least 5 inches thick, and build custom furniture for people who don't have the time or tools to do it themselves. Their inventory runs over 20 species of hardwoods, all sourced locally from Colorado's urban forests. Logs need to be at least 10 inches across and 4 feet long for the bandsaw, and they ask that ends be painted within a day of cutting and the wood milled green. On the money side, "Fees generally work out to $1/board foot or better," with mill fees running $100 to $120 an hour depending on the log, and an $80 minimum. You can pay to have your lumber milled and take it all home, or trade some of the wood for the milling work. One thing to plan for: they don't pick up logs. You bring them to the yard at 5406 CR 23, or arrange transport through whoever fells your tree. This fits a landowner who already has a tree down, or a few logs set aside, and wants them turned into usable lumber or furniture rather than sold as standing timber.

How much is my timber worth in Weld 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 Weld 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Weld County?
