timber evaluationforest management

Keller Logging llc buys standing timber and does logging work out of West Lafayette, Indiana. They're set up to deal in standing hardwood trees, especially walnut and oak, and they'll sell hardwood and veneer logs separately when it makes sense, since they work with multiple mills instead of being tied to just one. If you call them in, their foresters come out and walk your stand with you, talk about what you want out of the sale, then evaluate the quality and market value of your timber before anything moves forward. They also offer forest management, and they say they follow established industry-wide best practices so the woods keep producing for the long haul. They describe themselves as "Fully Licensed and Insured," and they say they've "been in the Timber Business for many years." They list Tippecanoe County as an area they serve, and their own pages mention working across Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan, naming places like Lowell, Monticello, Logansport, and Peru. There's no acreage minimum stated anywhere in what they put out. This fits a landowner in that part of Indiana who has hardwood, especially walnut or oak, standing on their property and wants a buyer who isn't locked into selling everything to a single mill.

Sevits Logging LLC is an independent logging and timber buying business based in Fremont, Indiana. It's family owned and run by Joe Sevits, who is the fourth generation of his family to work in the tree industry. The work covers timber harvesting, selective cutting, land clearing, forestry mulching, storm damage cleanup, sustainable forest management, whitetail habitat development, and brush and deadwood removal. Species they mention working with include oak, walnut, maple, ash, and cottonwood. A sale or job starts with a free on site estimate, and from there a landowner can choose either a flat cash price or a revenue sharing arrangement based on what the timber is worth. Joe holds an Indiana Timber Buyer's License and is listed as a state licensed timber buyer. The business is based in Steuben County and serves northeast Indiana, southwest Michigan, and northwest Ohio, naming towns across all three states as far out as several hours' drive from Fremont. There's no stated minimum acreage for a job, so a landowner with a smaller lot would need to ask directly whether it's worth a visit. This fits a landowner in northeast Indiana or the nearby Michigan and Ohio counties who wants one family crew to handle a timber sale from the first walk through the woods to the final cut, with "honest work" as the stated approach and a licensed buyer standing behind the price.

veneer logsforest management

Tri-State Timber LLC is a logging, timber buying, and forestry consulting business based in Spencer, Indiana. They buy standing timber and veneer logs, handle the logging work itself, and offer forest management. They serve Owen County and describe themselves as serving Central and Southern Indiana, with other pages naming Illinois and Kentucky as well. They work with Ash, Black Cherry, Black Walnut, Hickory, Northern Red Oak, Sugar Maple, Tulip Poplar, and White Oak. The process starts with a forester walking your woods and asking about your goals and concerns, then matching each log to the market that will bring the best return, whether that ends up as lumber, veneer, or a specialty product. They say their aim is to get landowners paid "top dollar" for their timber, and they describe being "committed to following Best Management Practices" when they log. Tri-State Timber or one of its crews has been named Logger of the Year by the Indiana Tree Farmers' Association three times. They generally require 15 wooded acres. In their own words, that's "due to the high cost of moving logging crews and large equipment to small parcels," though they note exceptions when they're already logging nearby or when the timber quality is high enough. This is a fit for landowners with a decent-sized wooded tract in Central or Southern Indiana who want a forester to walk the land, talk through goals, and handle both the sale and the harvest rather than just one piece of it.

timber management plansfree evaluationtimber buying

Indiana Timber Buyers is based in Greensburg, Indiana, and buys standing timber. Dan Schwering founded the company to help landowners understand the process of selling timber and managing their stands. The business also offers timber management plans and a free evaluation. They buy all species of hardwood, including Ash, Poplar, Red Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, and Hickory, and they say they "specialize in Walnut and White Oak with an emphasis on high quality veneer trees." If your timber isn't ready for harvest, they say they'll tell you so. If it is, they put together a timber management plan showing the value and harvest details, and they compare it to the Annual Purdue Stumpage report. They offer a variety of payment options. They serve all of Decatur County and say their network lets them reach the entire state of Indiana. They typically need 5 acres of timber or more to justify the cost of moving equipment, though they note individual cases vary and a few large clear Walnut or White Oak trees might be worth a look even on less. They won't buy yard trees or trees near dwellings because of metal and liability concerns. This fits a landowner in Decatur County or nearby with a solid stand of hardwood, especially Walnut or White Oak, who wants someone to walk them through a first-time sale rather than just name a price.

WhiteWater Ranch Log Yard is a timber buyer and sawmill in Liberty, Indiana, operating as WhiteWater Ranch LLC. They work with landowners and farmers to improve and maintain standing timber through select cuts carried out throughout the year, describing their lumber as "Ethically Sourced Lumber." The timber they buy goes to their own sawmill, where it becomes lumber, slabs, posts, beams, mantels, and custom sawn lumber. They buy walnut, white oak, black locust, cedar, maple, and osage orange, among other species. Work can include timber stand improvement and harvests as well as straight select cuts, aimed at building yearly cashflow for a farm or ranch. They hold a license as a Licensed Timber Buyer in Indiana. They purchase logs either at the mill site or by arranging pickup at your location, measuring and scaling logs on location and using low impact logging methods. They serve Union County. The smallest job they describe is a single log, where "you can be paid the same day even if it is a single log," so that is the scale they say they can take on. This suits a landowner with just a few trees worth cutting, or one looking for ongoing select cuts and timber stand improvement over the years, more than someone with a single large one-time harvest to manage.

Columbia City, IN
dry kilnspre-dryerswood fire boilerdry lumber inspectionband mill+1 more

Holmes & Co Inc runs a sawmill in Columbia City, Indiana, and also buys timber. They've been at it since 1946, starting out as a small hardwood mill and growing into a full operation with dry kilns, pre-dryers, a wood fire boiler, a band mill, and a steam vat for walnut. They work mainly in hardwoods: walnut, ash, red oak, white oak, cherry, basswood, poplar, hard and soft maple, and hickory. Most of their timber comes from within 200 miles of the mill, across Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana, and they're listed as serving Whitley County specifically. They cut heavy stock, from 4/4" up to 16/4", and say they're "one of the few operations that offer 12/4\" to 16/4\" stock." That kind of thick lumber takes real patience. They also run a retail store open to the public if you want to see what comes off their mill, and they ship some of their output overseas by container. They belong to the National Hardwood Lumber Association and the Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen's Association. If you're a landowner with hardwood timber, especially walnut, oak, or cherry, and you're within reach of their Columbia City yard, this is a mill set up to handle real volume and turn it into finished lumber rather than just moving logs. It suits someone selling standing timber who wants to deal with an outfit that processes wood itself, not just a broker passing it along. From holmescompanyinc.yolasite.com, read 8 October 2026.

Timber PurchasingProductionVeneers

Amos Hill Associates Inc is a sawmill and timber buyer in Edinburgh, Indiana. Their own pages describe the work as "Timber Purchasing Production Veneers," so they buy standing timber, run it through production, and work with veneers. For a landowner, this means Amos Hill is set up to handle the sale of your timber from the purchase through to milling it into veneer-grade material. They serve Johnson County. There's a phone number listed, (812) 526-2671, for reaching them directly, including for trucking and delivery questions if you're hauling logs to their yard. No tract size, species list, founding date, or credentials are stated, so if those details matter to you, you'd want to call and ask. This fits a landowner who has timber they think may be veneer quality and wants a buyer who also mills, rather than someone who only brokers logs to someone else.

pallet productionheat-treated palletscustom palletsboxes or cratesmulch from the grindings+1 more

Coomer & Sons Sawmill is a family-owned mill in Frankfort, Indiana, running since 1978. It buys hardwood logs from logging contractors, sometimes sending its own trucks out to a logging job or wood yard to pick them up. The main business is pallets, cut from cottonwood, hickory, poplar, maple, and oak, with most of them heat-treated for companies that ship overseas. Most pallets come off an automated nailing machine, turning out between 1,800 and 2,000 a day, but custom pallets, small orders, boxes, and crates are still built by hand with pneumatic nailing tools. Nothing goes to waste either: the leftover wood and bark become mulch, and the sawdust gets sold too, with demand for each shifting between the warm months and the cold ones. The business serves Clinton County. There's no stated minimum tract size, but this is a mill built around pallet-grade hardwood logs bought from contractors and wood yards, not a timber-sale operation that walks your acres with you. It fits a landowner who already has logs cut or lined up and wants a long-running Indiana mill, one that calls itself "a family-owned mill dedicated to providing high-quality lumber pallets," to buy and process them.

Timber BuyingTimber Stand Advising

TM Forestry, LLC is a logging company in Amboy, Indiana, near Peru. Tim Middlekauff runs it as a timber buyer, logger, and timber stand advisor, working mostly in Miami County. The work starts with a walk through your timber stand. Tim meets you on your land, looks at what's standing, and talks through which trees should come out for sale and which should stay to improve the stand over time. He also handles timber stand advising on its own, pointing out trees that are diseased, of no value, or better left for a later, more profitable harvest. The company cuts the logs to size, scales them to set price and size, and marks longer logs for cutting. Tim does his own work from timber selection to loading the last log, with experienced cutters, a skidder-loader operator, and truckers working alongside him rather than hired through a third party. TM Forestry describes itself as a "small logging company" by design, built on 20 years of Tim's experience in the sawmill and timber industry before he started the business in 2018. The company takes on sustainable growth harvests, timber work tied to improving hunting ground, or land being cleared toward tillable ground. This fits a landowner in or near Miami County who wants the same person meeting them on the property, cutting the trees, and loading the trucks, rather than work passed between different outfits.

Sugar Ridge Timber Inc buys standing timber and runs the logging crew themselves, out of Clay City, Indiana. They've been at it over 20 years, serving Clay City and the surrounding areas, and they were named 2004 Indiana Logger of the Year. Their work covers timber purchasing, timber harvesting, forest management, timber procurement, complete logging, and other landowner services. They say they'll handle it start to finish: "counting and pricing your trees to scheduling and carrying out the harvest," and they'll help with marketing the sale too. They're fully licensed to buy timber in both Indiana and Illinois, and say their loggers are "licensed, bonded, and insured." No stated minimum acreage, but they say they'll "work with almost any landowner within 80 miles of Clay City, Indiana," which is how they describe their service area too. This fits a landowner near Clay City or within that 80-mile stretch who wants one outfit to buy the timber and cut it, rather than hiring a separate consultant to represent them against the buyer.

Buying Timber & Loggingfree quoteclearing wooded areassurvey your property

Eicher's Sawmill is a sawmill and logging outfit in Hamilton, Indiana, run by Joe Eicher, his son, and four other employees. They buy standing timber, log it, clear wooded areas, and mill their own products like firewood, wood chips, and green sawdust. The work covers buying timber, logging, and clearing. Joe and his team will survey your property first and give you a free quote before anything happens. You get an estimate at the time of service, but payment comes after they write up the official quote. They do buy fallen timber if it meets their standards, but they won't take rotting or low quality wood, and they won't cut down yard trees since that risks the house or yard. On a job, they say "minimal damage to both your land and surrounding trees is a priority." Joe picks up timber within a 75-mile radius, and the areas named are Northern Indiana, Lower Michigan, and Western Ohio. For this directory, the county served is Steuben, with the business itself found in DeKalb County. Eicher's Sawmill has been running since 2012, when Joe started it at 24 years old after working at his brother-in-law's lumbermill. This fits a landowner near Hamilton or within that 75-mile reach who wants someone to walk the land, explain what the timber is worth, and clean up after the job without a lot of back and forth.

timber appraisalconsultation

Forks Lumber Co. is a timber buyer and saw mill in Middlebury, Indiana. A forester there buys standing timber and runs the mill on site, so you are dealing with the person who both prices your trees and cuts them. They work mainly in White Oak and Walnut, and they serve Elkhart County. The process starts with a free timber appraisal and consultation, which you can have customized to your woods. Their stated specialty is a "Guaranteed appraisal," meaning the dollar amount they quote you is the amount you get, with no trucking or logging costs taken out afterward. They say their "goal is honesty and transparency in the appraisal," and they also talk with landowners about how the woods will look after harvest, aiming to log it in a way that matches what you want to see left standing, whether that is a light cut or a heavier one. There is no stated minimum acreage or tract size, so this looks like a business that will size up a job on its own merits rather than screen it by acreage first. This fits a landowner near Middlebury or LaGrange who has White Oak or Walnut worth asking about, and who wants a flat, guaranteed number up front before committing to a cut.

Jim Lukens Quality Hardwoods, doing business as Quality Hardwoods & Sawmill, is a family owned sawmill and timber buyer in Knightstown, Indiana, running since 1962. They buy standing timber and saw logs into furniture grade lumber, live edge slabs, kiln dried hardwood, and green lumber, and also offer custom sawing, CNC milling, custom millwork, and custom hardwood flooring. On the timber buying side they handle timber appraisals, timber selection, harvesting coordination, regulatory compliance, logging, and hauling. They buy all hardwood species, naming Indiana's Black Walnut and Cherry specifically. For harvesting they describe using "selective logging (versus clear cutting)" rather than clearing a whole stand, and once a deal is struck they say they provide "quick, secure payment for logs and timber." They serve Henry County and work out from their base in East Central Indiana across the rest of Indiana and into Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Kentucky. The shop sits at 38 W Grant St in Knightstown, where lumber is dried down to 6-8% moisture and a landowner can hand pick their own boards once sawn. This one suits a landowner with hardwood on the ground, especially walnut or cherry, who wants a single family outfit to carry the job from standing tree through to appraisal, logging, hauling, and finished lumber.

selling hardwood and veneer logsinspecting larger parcels of logs at logging landings

Patterson Specialty Hardwoods, Inc. is a hardwood log buyer and merchant in Spencer, Indiana. They are "a hardwood lumber merchant specializing in veneer and saw logs for domestic and export manufacturing," working with Walnut, White Oak, Hard Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Sassafras, Red Oak, Black Oak, and Poplar. They buy logs two ways: "gate logs" delivered to their Spencer yard, or by sending a buyer out to inspect larger parcels at logging landings and other yards within 175 miles of that yard. Logs are scaled by the Doyle Rule, must be solid, sound, and straight, free of metal, and meet a minimum small-end diameter of 12 inches for saw logs and 14 inches for veneer logs. Payment on gate logs delivered by Thursday noon is scaled and paid the same week; logs picked out at a landing are paid the Friday after delivery is complete. The owner, Richard (Dick) Patterson, has a forestry degree from the University of Montana and more than 30 years in the trade, and the business holds an Indiana DNR timber buyer license and FSC certification. There's no stated minimum acreage. Since they deal in logs rather than standing tracts, the practical floor is whether your logs meet those diameter and quality standards, not acreage at all. This fits a landowner in or near Owen County who already has logs cut or ready to haul, and wants a straightforward log buyer rather than someone to walk a whole property and sell standing timber.

They describe themselves as "one of the largest suppliers of hardwood logs in the state of Indiana," with 5 full time logging crews that specialize in white oak veneer. They also buy walnut. They say they have "the capability to fill large orders" and currently export across Asia, with plans to expand into Europe and the Middle East. They are FSC certified. Sales run on a bid basis. Logs are offered FOB yard, and bidders can inspect them ahead of time to judge species, volume, quality, number of logs, grade, and scale before submitting a bid by phone or email. Full payment is due before any logs leave the premises. Their current log sale listing shows a parcel of white oak and walnut originating in Davies County, Indiana, alongside their Lawrence County base. This fits a landowner with a sizeable stand of white oak or walnut, especially veneer-grade timber, who wants a buyer set up to handle a large volume and move logs into export markets.

FORESTRY SERVICESTIMBER APPRAISALSLOGGING SERVICESSELECTIVE HARVESTING

Valley View Forestry and Logging Company buys standing timber and does logging work in Ohio, based at 4129 Paris Ave SE, with locations in Ashland and Huron County. Their in-house foresters mark and appraise your woods, then their loggers cut, skid, haul, and clean up, with harvests meant to let a woodlot be worked again every three to five years. They buy black walnut and white oak trees and logs, veneer and export logs, and hardwood standing timber generally. Services listed are forestry services, timber appraisals, logging services, and selective harvesting. The sale process runs through a timber stand inventory, marking each tree with paint, a professional appraisal and contract, then harvesting, hauling to the sawmill, and site clean up to Ohio's BMP standard. They hold the credential "Ohio Forestry Certified Master Logging Company" and say they have almost three decades in the work. Their stated minimum is "5+ Acres of Mature Hardwood Standing Timber," so 5 acres of mature hardwood is their starting point, alongside an interest in 20 or more black walnut trees. They work throughout the Ohio region. This fits a landowner with mature black walnut or white oak on at least a few acres who wants someone to mark, appraise, and log the timber in one package rather than hiring a separate forester and logger.

buying quality hardwood logs

Davison HQS is a hardwood log dealership in Spencer, Indiana. They buy quality hardwood logs from the heartland of Indiana, and they also keep lumber on hand in both kiln dried and air dried stock. If you've got walnut or maple on your land, this is the kind of outfit that would be interested in the logs themselves, not standing timber sales or harvest jobs. They describe their work as "buying quality hardwood logs from heartland of Indiana using bmp friendly practices and providing producers with these logs for manufacturing." On the lumber side, they carry walnut crotches and live edge lumber for indoor and outdoor use. Joseph Davison, Jr. is a licensed Indiana timber buyer and is involved in buying both road logs and yard logs, as well as selling yard logs. Melvin Frey joined the business in 2013 and became owner in 2021. They're set up in Owen County and work out of their yard on E Franklin St in Spencer, with regular office hours Monday through Friday. There's no minimum tract size stated, so this looks like a fit for a landowner who already has logs cut, or walnut and maple timber in mind, and wants a buyer who deals directly in those species rather than a full logging or consulting operation.

Walnut Timber Buyers is a logging contractor and timber buyer based in Beardstown, Illinois. They describe themselves plainly: "WE ARE AN INDUSTRIAL LOGGING COMPANY THAT BUYS BULK TIMBER FROM FARMS AND HUNTING LAND." They buy standing walnut, white oak, red oak, hickory, ash, maple and black oak. Their process starts with marking out which trees on your land are worth the most, then marking property lines, felling the selected trees, grading roads to move the timber to one spot, cleaning up after themselves, and finally finding a buyer, paying you, and hauling the logs off your land. They call this their Select Harvest method. They offer a free appraisal before any of this starts. For a minimum, they aren't looking at acreage at all but at tree count: "At this time we are only considering projects of 20 or more mature trees." Smaller or residential jobs get turned away and pointed toward a local tree service instead. Their reach is wide. From their Beardstown, Illinois base they say they work within a 300-mile radius, covering a large part of Illinois as well as Central and Eastern Missouri. They list themselves as licensed timber buyers, fully insured, and say they've worked with landowners and importers across Illinois and Missouri for the past 30 years. They also work directly with importers, exporting logs from a yard with rail access. This one suits a landowner with a real stand of mature hardwoods, at least 20 trees worth cutting, who wants one outfit to handle the appraisal, the cutting, and the sale together rather than hiring it out in pieces.

Beyond logging and timber buying, they also do tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, and forestry mulching, so if your property needs more than just a timber sale, they can likely help with that too. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job shown is a 28 acre forestry mulching project for an industrial client, so that gives a sense of the scale they're used to working at. They serve Scott County and describe themselves as covering Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro area, naming towns like Austin, Salem, Charlestown, Corydon, Madison, and New Albany among others. This one suits a landowner in Scott County or nearby Southern Indiana who wants a single local outfit that can handle the timber harvest and also take care of related tree and land work on the same property.

Mark Shultz Logging, LLC. is a timber buyer and logging contractor based in Huntington, Indiana, serving Huntington County. Mark Shultz buys standing timber himself and handles the logging too, so you're dealing with one person from the buying decision through the harvest. He buys all species, with a focus as a "buyer of hardwood." He has "25+ years in the timber industry" and says that time, along with his logistics experience with handling logs and cutting timber, lets him lay out a clear plan for harvesting your timber. He also says staying active in both foreign and domestic markets helps him stay competitive when markets move around. The minimum here is plain: 5 acres of woods, though he notes some exceptions apply, so a smaller property might still be worth a call. This suits a Huntington County landowner who wants a single, direct point of contact for both the timber sale and the actual logging work, rather than coordinating a buyer and a logger separately.

Buchan Sawmill, Inc. is a family timber business in New Haven, Indiana. It buys standing timber from landowners, logs it with its own crews, and saws it at its own mill. Dan and Luanne Buchan started Buchan Logging in 1985, and the sawmill followed in 1991. The firm is licensed, bonded, and insured, and Buchan has been named Indiana Logger of the Year three times, in 1997, 2008, and 2016. It is located in the heart of Northern Indiana's Walnut and White Oak regions and serves Clinton County. It buys standing timber in walnut, white and red oak, hickory, hard and soft maple, cherry, poplar, and basswood, along with other hardwood species. Buchan puts it this way: "There is no job too big or too small." Its own foresters mark the trees, and its own cutters and equipment do the harvest, using selective cutting and land management services aimed at forest health and wildlife. Its markets reach across the United States and around the world. The mill saws thick stock, walnut, white and red oak, grade lumber, construction lumber, and cants. Logs are debarked and scanned so the mill can get the best yield from each one. It suits a landowner with mature hardwood, especially walnut or white oak, who wants one firm to handle the whole job, from marking the trees to the sale.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers are there in Indiana?

47 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Indiana forestry register, covering 36 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
