Selling Timber in Kendall County, IL

Nicholson Logging & Lumber Inc is a sawmill and logging business in Yorkville, Illinois. They harvest local timber and process it into lumber at their own location, and they've been doing it since 1986. The work covers more than just buying standing timber. They take on tree removal, run a full service saw mill, sell firewood, and reclaim old barn beams for flooring, mantels, and other custom pieces. They also do custom woodwork like flooring, trim, cabinetry, and furniture from the wood they process. Their own words: "Our logging professionals harvest local timber and process it into lumber at our location." They describe themselves as a "licensed timber buyer" with access to a range of wood species and board sizes for custom work. They serve Yorkville "or nearby cities" and are based out of 201 E. Van Emmon St. Kendall County is named as an area they serve. There's no stated minimum tract size, so it's hard to say how small a job they'd consider, but their range of services, from firewood to barn beam salvage, suggests they'll look at smaller or partial jobs rather than only large standing timber sales. This fits a landowner near Yorkville who wants one outfit to handle logging, milling, and turning old wood or barn material into something usable, rather than just a straight timber sale.
