No Trace Lumber is a sawmill in Grace, Idaho, run by Chuck Watson and his family. They custom cut beams and boards to your measurements, work with speciality woods, and sell firewood. If you have logs or standing timber and want them turned into something usable, this is the kind of outfit that does that work. The mill is family owned and operated, started in 2018, so it has been cutting wood for about six years. Chuck has been cutting wood "since he could walk" and the business has grown from a small operation into a larger mill while staying family run. They list Caribou County as an area they serve, and their shop sits at 1150 Hegstrom Road in Grace. You can call or text for a bid, and they say to come by during business hours if you want to talk in person. This fits a landowner near Grace or in Caribou County who wants custom milling done, whether that is beams for a barn, boards cut to size, or firewood, and who likes dealing with a small family shop rather than a large operation.

How much is my timber worth in Caribou 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 Caribou 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.
