Milford, AR
precision timber and log sawingcustom-sawn lumber

Evergreen Log Sawing is a sawmill in Milford, Indiana, on County Road 19. It has been running since 2016. The idea is right there in its own words: "From Your Tree To Your Lumber." The work is precision timber and log sawing, turning your logs into custom-sawn lumber. They cut hickory, red oak, white oak, walnut, elm, hackberry, pine, and tulip. The jobs range widely in size, "From a single log cut to a full shipment" of custom-sawn lumber, so they'll take on a small amount of wood or a bigger load. They serve Milford and the surrounding communities, based in Elkhart County. This is a mill you'd bring logs to, or have logs sawn for you, rather than a company that buys standing timber or manages a harvest on your land. If you've already got logs down, or you're planning a small cut and want them turned into usable boards or timbers, this is the kind of outfit that does that work. Homeowners, woodworkers, contractors, and hobbyists are all mentioned as the kind of customer they work with. This fits a landowner who has logs ready to go and wants them sawn into lumber close to home in the Milford area, not someone still deciding whether to sell standing timber.

Middlebury, NY
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.

How much is my timber worth in Elkhart 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 Elkhart 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.
