Timber Buyers

Timber Resource Group is a log buyer based in Stratton, Maine, with log yards across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, and sawmill connections reaching into Quebec. They buy spruce and fir, along with hardwood species like hard and red maple, white ash, yellow and white birch, red oak, cherry, hemlock, red pine and white pine. Logs can be delivered direct to the sawmills, brought to one of their yards, or picked up roadside. Their own words: "All Log Suppliers get paid directly by the Sawmills, whichever location the spruce/fir is delivered to; there is no middleman or broker involved." Their log buyers and licensed wood scalers will also come out to a logging job in the woods to help grade and merchandise logs, and they offer roadside veneer scaling. Staff hold credentials including Licensed Forester, Licensed Wood Scaler, Registered Maine Guide and Class A CDL Operator. Allan Ryder, the company's president, has been with Timber Resource Group since 1990, and the team includes buyers assigned by region across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and New York, each tied to specific yards and sawmills. This fits a landowner who has already got logs cut or is ready to deliver or sell roadside, and wants a straightforward sawmill-direct payment with no broker in the middle, rather than someone looking for help planning a harvest from standing timber.

William A. Day Jr. & Sons Logging & Firewood is a family-owned logging company in Porter, Maine. They've been at it for over 30 years, cutting wood across Maine and New Hampshire. They handle wood harvesting, lot clearing, trucking, forestry mulching, timber buying, and firewood. They cut sawlogs and pulp, in hardwood and softwood, including pine, spruce fir, yellow birch, white pine, birch, oak, cherry, and maple. If you're selling timber, they say to get everything in a contract first, hire an insured logger, and spell out how the trees will be managed and how any logging trails will be handled. They work across Maine and New Hampshire, with work shown in Oxford County. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job they show is a 40 acre property in the western mountains, where the owner said the crew's professionalism was "exceptional." This is a fit for landowners with a parcel of some size, at least 40 acres by their own example, who want one outfit to handle the cutting, the trucking, and the timber sale itself.

By the Board Lumber Co is a sawmill and lumber yard in Readfield, Maine, on Route 17. They buy logs from local loggers and saw hemlock and pine that comes from right there in Maine. The work here is custom sawing more than standing timber sales. If you bring in your own logs they'll saw them, and for a big project like a barn or house they "can saw it out as you build it or saw the entire project and deliver it to your site." They'll also cut odd sizes for special projects, make railroad ties and land ties, and deliver bark mulch. Rough sawn hemlock and pine boards are sold at the yard, along with kiln-dried finished pine. They serve Kennebec County. Russ bought his first sawmill in June of 1998, running it as a portable rig on nights and weekends. The business has grown since, adding buildings and equipment, and moved to its current Readfield location on Route 17 in February of 2016. No acreage or tract size is mentioned here, since the work is about logs and sawing rather than buying standing timber off a woodlot. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who wants custom sawing done for a building project, more than someone who needs a buyer to come mark and harvest trees still standing.

Gilpatrick & Sons is a sawmill, logging outfit, and timber buyer in Richmond, Maine. They've been at it since 1973, starting out logging and selective cutting of wood lots in Central Maine, and adding the sawmill and propane side of things in 1985. If you've got a wood lot that needs thinning or a selective harvest, that's their main work alongside the milling. They cut and sell rough hemlock, pine (rough and finished), and cedar, so if your land has those species standing, they're set up to handle it. Their woodlot management and selective harvest services cover a 25 mile radius of Richmond, including Augusta, Bowdoin, Bowdoinham, Gardiner, Dresden, and Litchfield. They note they're "CPL Certified." There's no acreage minimum stated on their pages, so it's worth a call to Gilpatrick & Sons at 207-737-2090 to ask whether your particular lot fits what they take on. This one suits a landowner in or near Richmond, Maine who wants someone doing both the logging and the milling under one roof, especially if hemlock, pine, or cedar are what's growing on the property.

J & J Cedar Mill, Inc. is a sawmill in Bridgewater, Maine, in Aroostook County. It's family owned, and it specializes in eastern white cedar and northern white cedar lumber, mainly for the fence industry, the log home industry, and related markets. The mill buys raw material from local forestry operations in the area and from across the border in New Brunswick, Canada. Most of what comes in arrives as tree length, though they also purchase some log length. From there it's processed into lumber of all sizes, lengths, and grades, including rough and dressed lumber, fence posts, decking and siding, and log home timbers and squares. Much of what they produce is sold wholesale and finished further by other companies, though they also handle smaller retail orders. The business started in the summer of 1995, when two brothers, Jake and Jerry, set out sawing what they call "one of the most difficult species in the north Maine woods." They've rebuilt the mill more than once over the years after fires, and the operation today runs with multiple employees. This one suits a landowner in Aroostook County with white cedar to sell, especially if you're thinking fence posts, log home timbers, or other cedar products rather than mixed hardwood sawtimber.

They're based at 910 Exeter Rd. in Corinna, Maine, and serve Penobscot County. They're listed under the mills and timber-buyers categories.

Ted Wright Forest Services LLC is based in Brunswick, Maine, and works as a forestry consultant who also buys timber and logs land himself. Ted Wright is a native Mainer who has worked in the forestry community for over 25 years, including time as Executive Director of the Trust to Conserve Northeast Forestlands. He is a licensed forester in Maine and served five years on the Board of Directors for FSC, including as co-chair and on the policy and standards committee. The work he takes on covers a lot of ground: Maine Tree Growth Tax Law planning, forest management plans, NRCS technical service provider work, forest carbon market engagement, timber evaluations, recreation and wildlife enhancement, boundary lines, FSC certification consulting, and timber harvesting and timber sales. He serves Cumberland County. He describes himself as "an experienced forester and 8th generation Mainer" who is "dedicated to assisting landowners and loggers in the responsible management of their forest resources." If you're setting up a Forest Management Plan to qualify for Tree Growth Tax Law, he says that plan gets reviewed and updated every 10 years by a licensed forester, and he can build one for you or update an existing one. On his approach, he says he aims for "fair, honest, and responsible work that meet the social, environmental, and economic ethos of my clients." This fits a Maine landowner in Cumberland County who wants someone who can handle the tax law paperwork, the FSC certification side, and the actual timber sale or harvest, all from one person, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.
