Brookside Cedar Sawmill is a sawmill in Saint Albans, Maine, working with cedar. They're set up to cut cedar lumber to order, with a full list of sizes on hand, from small boards up to heavy timbers. This isn't a place that buys standing timber or sends someone out to log your woods. It's a mill that cuts cedar into lumber, so it fits a landowner who already has cedar logs or wants finished boards and posts rather than someone to manage a harvest. They say "quality is our number one priority" and stand behind that with "If you're not walking away happy with your order, we aren't either." Franklin County is where they're found in the register, and they're shown serving Somerset County. This one suits a landowner who has cedar on hand and wants it milled into lumber, not someone looking for a timber buyer or logger to handle a standing sale.

Because that page describes Fontaine and not Moose River Lumber Co. Inc, there is nothing from it that can be said to apply to this listing: no species, no sale process, no minimum size of job, and no history specific to this company.

How much is my timber worth in Somerset 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 Somerset 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 Somerset County?

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.
