Hollingsworth Lumber is a sawmill and lumber yard in Russiaville, Indiana. They saw their own native lumber in house and also take in custom sawing, turning a landowner's logs into usable boards. Their millwork side can plane, straight line rip, sand, thickness resaw, and run custom moulding, with a CNC service too. They say "we have capability to duplicate almost any custom trim profile and can produce any standard trim profile from any species of lumber." Species they work with include cedar, ash, basswood, birch, maple, walnut, and oak, along with pine, inland red cedar, and exotics like teak, zebrawood, purple heart, ipe, and bubinga. They also produce hardwood flooring, interior doors, exterior wood siding, and wood fencing, with a noted niche in fencing for horse farms. They list Howard County as an area they serve. Hollingsworth Lumber has been family owned and operated since 1937 and is now in its 4th generation of family ownership. This fits a landowner who already has logs or standing timber sawed and wants the lumber turned into flooring, trim, siding, or fencing, rather than someone just looking for a buyer to purchase standing timber outright.

VTV Sawmill is a sawmill and woodworking shop in Greentown, Indiana. It saws logs into lumber and also builds finished pieces from the wood. The work started on a family tree farm, where Vance and his dad began cutting down ash trees that had already died. After buying a Wood-Mizer sawmill in 2018, Vance and his wife set out to build "the bigger dreams he had always envisioned," cutting their own wood for flooring, cabinets, and trim at home. Vance passed away in 2021, and his wife now runs the sawmill and the woodshop, saying "I am now running the sawmill and working in the woodshop." VTV Sawmill works with ash and is based in Greentown, with Howard County named among the areas it serves. This suits a landowner near Greentown with ash on the property who wants it sawn into lumber, or even worked into something for the house, by a small operation built on a family's own tree farm.

How much is my timber worth in Howard 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 Howard 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.
