New Haven, IN
Sawmillselective cuttingland management servicesbuying standing timber

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.

Churubusco, NY
Portable SawmillingCustom Lumber CutsLive Edge SlabsDimensional rough-sawn lumberthick mantels+1 more

Bent Tree Custom Sawing LLC is a portable sawmilling business based in Churubusco, Indiana. If you've got logs on your own ground, "we bring the sawmill to you" rather than making you haul them out. They run a Woodmizer LT40 Wide, which they say handles larger logs than most mobile mills can take, so oversized yard trees or oak logs too big to move aren't wasted. The work covers portable sawmilling done right on your property, custom lumber cuts, dimensional rough-sawn lumber, thick mantels, unique geometric cuts, and live edge slabs for furniture or tables. Oak is the species they name specifically. To start a job, you send them details on your logs or project and they come back with an estimate. They're a family-owned outfit serving Fort Wayne and the surrounding Northern Indiana area, with Churubusco, Warsaw, and Kendallville named as places they reach, and Allen County as their listed service county. Their own words on how they work: "Your Tree, Your Table" sums up their approach to turning a landowner's log into something useful back on that same property. This fits a landowner with a log or two already down, or a prized tree that needs taking care of on-site, rather than someone managing a standing timber sale across many acres.

How much is my timber worth in Allen 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 Allen 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.
