JMLogMarket.io is an online marketplace based in Greenup, Kentucky, that connects people who have logs, lumber or standing timber with buyers, loggers, sawmills and haulers across North America. It calls itself "North America's Marketplace for Logs, Lumber & Timber." For a landowner, it works by posting what you have for sale, whether that is logs, standing trees, or lumber off a job, and buyers come to you. It also offers free tools: an AI log grader, an AI tree grader, and a running list of public timber sales from national forests, military bases, and state forests, updated daily. Species traded include white oak, red oak, walnut, maple, cherry, hickory, ash, poplar, and more, twenty five species in all. Beyond buying and selling, the marketplace also covers related services: timber cruising, log hauling, portable sawmilling, kiln drying, log grading, land clearing, stump grinding, tree planting, and firewood processing, plus listings for sawmills. Its stated service area is all of North America, naming Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, Georgia, and several Canadian provinces. It serves Greenup County, Kentucky directly. The company was founded in 2024 and holds ACF Membership. On its homepage it says, "Post what you have. Buyers come to you." This fits a landowner who wants to put a log load or a timber sale in front of a wide pool of buyers themselves, rather than hand the whole job to one forester or logger.

Thompson Forestry is a consulting forestry business run by Michael Thompson out of Lexington, Kentucky, serving Fayette County. This isn't a logging outfit, it's someone who works for you as the landowner before any logger or mill gets involved. The work covers timber sales, timber appraisals, management plans, and timber stand improvement. For a sale, he measures and grades your timber, markets it to loggers, sawmills, and veneer mills, writes up the timber sale contract, and does logging inspections. Trees get handled one of two ways: a marked sale, where trees are painted at head high and on the stump, or a cruise sale, based on a stump diameter inventory. Either way the idea is that only what was counted gets cut. He describes the contracts as "in depth and seller friendly," which matters if you've never sold timber before and don't want to get outmaneuvered on paper. He holds a B.S. in Forestry from the University of Kentucky (2007), an A.S. in Science from BCTCS (2004), belongs to the Society of American Foresters, and carries the ACF certification. He's been doing this consulting work for over 11 years. This suits a landowner in Fayette County who wants a forester in their corner first, someone to appraise, write the contract, and inspect the logging, rather than going straight to a buyer.

May Brothers Lumber Co. buys standing timber and runs a sawmill in Kimper, Kentucky. They've been in the hardwood lumber business for over 100 years, fourth generation now running it. They buy hardwood and softwood timber, and at the mill they produce plain sawn lumber, pallet cants, and railroad crossties. On the buying side they handle pulpwood, poplar peelers, veneer, quarter logs, white oak staves, and sawlogs, working to get the tree's full value across whatever markets fit. Their own words on the job: "Standing timber is an asset," and they say they aim to respect that "during and after the harvest." They're listed with the Kentucky Forest Industries Association and the Kentucky Master Logger Program. Their timber procurement reaches eastern Kentucky, southwestern West Virginia, and parts of southwestern Virginia's coal field area, and for county listings here they're tied to Pike County. This fits a landowner in that eastern Kentucky and tri-state corner who wants a buyer that also mills the wood itself, rather than just brokering it to someone else.

Central Kentucky Timber is a family-owned logging and timber-buying business based in Sparta, Kentucky. They run a log yard where they're currently buying walnut and white oak, and they also take on logging jobs for landowners who want their timber harvested. If you're thinking about selling, they'll walk your property and give you a free consultation. Their crew works only with certified Master Loggers, and the business carries both general liability and workers compensation coverage. They've been doing this for over 30 years. At the log yard, logs come in Monday through Thursday, and checks go out on Fridays for anything delivered that week. They serve landowners across Central and Northern Kentucky. To qualify for a logging consultation, your property needs at least 30 wooded acres that haven't been cut in the past 20 years, so this isn't the outfit for a small lot or a recently-thinned parcel. This fits a landowner with a larger, long-untouched tract of walnut or white oak who wants a buyer that also handles the cutting, not someone with a few acres or a property that's been logged recently.

Kentucky Timber Buyers, based in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, buys standing hardwood timber for its own sawmill. They are not brokers or middlemen, which they say lets them pay top dollar for your trees. They handle timber evaluations, price proposals, select cutting, and clear cutting on request. The species they buy is hardwood timber, specifically marketable sized trees. Their process is straightforward: half the agreed value is paid when you sign on to sell, and the other half before the first tree comes down, so landowners aren't left waiting on payment after the trees are already gone. Their loggers are Amish, and the business describes them as caring about natural habitat and wildlife. The crews are insured and Licensed Master Loggers in the State of Kentucky. They've been buying timber for over 20 years. Rather than a stated acreage minimum, their cutoff is set in trees and size: they look to buy "40 trees or more" that measure at least 18 inches across at the base, and they note plainly that they can't help with small quantities on residential lots. So this isn't the outfit for a handful of trees in a yard, but for a real stand of mature hardwood. They serve Fleming County along with a run of other Kentucky counties: Bath, Bourbon, Bracken, Campbell, Clark, Fayette, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Mason, Montgomery, Nicholas, Pendleton, Robertson, and Scott. This fits a landowner with a sizeable stand of mature hardwood who wants a direct buyer, not a broker, and who values getting paid before the cutting starts rather than after.

Watkins Lumber & Log Co., LLC is a sawmill and timber buyer in Park City, Kentucky, serving Barren County. They're a family operation, started by Charles Watkins in 1985, a second-generation lumberman whose father ran Watkins & Son's Veneer. His daughter Holly is carrying the tradition forward now too. Their main work is custom sawing and buying hardwood logs. They handle Red Oak, White Oak, Poplar, Ash, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Hickory, and Beech. There's no stated minimum acreage, and they say plainly, "no job is ever too small," so this looks like an outfit that will work with a small woodlot as readily as a big tract. They describe their approach as wanting to offer "quality products at affordable prices," which fits a smaller, community-rooted mill rather than a large operation. This fits a landowner near Barren County with a modest stand of hardwoods who wants custom sawing done, or a small sale handled by people who've been doing this since 1985 and aren't going to turn you away for having too few trees.

Indiana Timber Buyers is a timber buying and forestry consulting outfit based in Carroll County, Kentucky. Dan Schwering started the company to walk landowners through selling timber and managing their stands. The work covers standing timber sales, timber management plans, and free evaluations. They buy hardwood species including Ash, Poplar, Red Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Hickory, Walnut, and White Oak, and say they "specialize in Walnut and White Oak with an emphasis on high quality veneer trees." They cover the state of Indiana, "from the northern reaches to the southern tip." They typically want 5 acres of timber or more before a sale pencils out, since that's what it takes "to justify the cost of moving equipment." They note exceptions can apply if a property has a few large, clear walnut or white oak trees. If your timber isn't ready to harvest, they say they'll tell you that plainly rather than push a sale. When it is ready, they put together a timber management plan laying out value and harvest details, and they offer a variety of payment options. This fits a landowner in Indiana with at least a handful of acres, especially one with good walnut or white oak, who wants a timber management plan laid out before committing to a harvest.
