Lovell Lumber Co is a sawmill in Lovell, Maine. It takes in logs and turns them into Eastern White Pine boards, along with some Eastern Hemlock, right at its own mill in the Saco River Valley of Western Maine. The mill draws its logs from within a 50 mile radius of Lovell, and it serves Oxford County. It produces over 5.5 million board feet of Eastern White Pine lumber a year, in widths from 1 x 4 through 1 x 12, plus some 5/4, 6/4, and 8/4 stock. Lovell Lumber says it "produces some of the finest quality Eastern White Pine boards in New England." Most of what it makes goes out through wholesalers and wholesale distributors, though landowners and other retail buyers can visit the on-site retail outlet, the Pine Shop. All of its production is graded three times by NeLMA certified graders, and everyone handling a board through manufacturing has grading knowledge. The business goes back to October of 1973, when Edward and Helen Woodbrey bought the mill. It passed to their son Mark in 1983, and the mill has kept to that same focus on quality over quantity since. This fits a landowner near the Saco River Valley with Eastern White Pine or Eastern Hemlock to move, especially one who'd rather deal with a mill that saws and grades its own lumber than a broker.

Oxford Timber, Inc. is a sawmill business based in Oxford, Maine, that builds timber mats, crane mats, and bridge mats rather than buying standing timber for logging.

They also make specialty mats and bridges up to 8 feet wide and 16 feet long. The company serves Oxford County and says it serves all of New England. It has operated since 1979, when Merle Record started it, and the family still runs it, with Michael Record as president and Jean Record as treasurer. This fits a landowner near Oxford, Maine who needs stable road or crane access across soft ground, rather than someone looking for a buyer for standing timber.

Beyond milled lumber, they stock a full range of building materials, hardware, paint, and plumbing and electrical supplies, and they say it is "where our grade is always one above the rest." Services include free estimates, free delivery, project design, and job site consultations. They name Southern and Central Maine as their area, with Oxford County among the counties served, plus Buckfield and Turner specifically. The business sits in Androscoggin County. No forestry work, logging, or timber buying is described; the work here is milling and building supply, not standing timber appraisal or harvest. This fits a landowner who wants boards, trim, or siding cut from local wood for a building project, rather than one looking for someone to walk their woods and buy standing timber.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Oxford County?
14 businesses are listed for Oxford County: 1 consulting forester and 13 buyers, loggers and mills. 12 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Oxford 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Oxford 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Oxford County?
No price series is published for Oxford County on its own. Maine's latest published stumpage figures (Maine Forest Service, 2024) put red oak at $293 per thousand board feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
