Selling Timber in Steuben County, IN

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.

Powers Hardwoods is a small hardwood lumber operation in Angola, Indiana, in the state's far northeast corner. They buy logs and lumber and process it for home hobbyists, schools, contractors and commercial accounts, handling "all of the major hardwood species native to North America." Their lumber comes mainly from northern Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. They deal directly with producers rather than through middlemen, which they say lets them keep prices down. Beyond selling lumber, they offer surfacing, sanding and sorting, with sorting to specific sizes available for an added fee, and quantity discounts once an order passes 100 board feet. They're based at 8090 E 40 S in Angola, and Steuben County is the county they serve. This is a lumber supplier rather than a timber buyer or logger, so it fits a landowner (or woodworker) looking for finished or processed hardwood boards, not someone looking to sell standing timber. They describe themselves as "a provider of hardwood lumber to home hobbyists, schools, contractors and commercial accounts," and lean on "personalized service for hobbyists and contractors alike" as part of how they work. This listing suits someone in or near Steuben County who wants surfaced or sanded hardwood lumber in smaller or larger quantities, not a landowner looking to have trees cut and sold off the stump.

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.
