Timber Buyers

Winwood Sawmill LLC runs a sawmill, lumberyard, and woodworking shop at 1 Old Gardner Rd in Winchendon, Massachusetts. They work by appointment, so you call or message before visiting. Their main business is custom sawmilling: they turn logs into slabs and lumber, either at their Winchendon facility or out at your property. Most customers haul their own logs in. They cut on a thin-kerf band sawmill that handles logs up to 36 inches across, and they run an industrial planer for boards and slabs up to 25 inches wide. Beyond sawing, they offer kiln drying, resawing, planing, drum and stroke sanding, and general consultations if you just want to know what you've got or what a dead tree might become. They handle more than twenty species, among them black walnut, hickory, white and red oak, hard and soft maple, cherry, white pine, and ash. They say "over 95% of our wood inventory is sourced from Massachusetts tree service companies," and they serve Worcester County and beyond. They also sell finished lumber, slabs, and some built items like tables and mantels straight from their yard. The business describes itself this way: "We transform Massachusetts trees for projects throughout Ma and beyond." This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or standing trees coming down soon, and wants them sawn into usable lumber or slabs rather than sold as a timber harvest. It's less suited to someone wanting a standing-timber sale or a forestry consult on acreage still growing. From winwoodsawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.

J.H. Conkey and Sons Logging works out of Belchertown, Massachusetts, doing logging, buying standing timber, and forestry consulting. They've been at it since 1986, working with landowners across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont. If you've got 15 or more wooded acres, they'll take a look. Their work covers forest management plans, selective timber harvesting, wildlife habitat improvement, timber appraisal, and general forestry consulting, including Chapter 61 questions. They're a cut-to-length outfit, meaning trees are limbed and cut to length right in the woods, and they leave the tops and branches behind to protect the ground and feed the soil. Their foresters are SAF and Massachusetts licensed, and the company holds Master Logger Certification. They describe their approach as "selective timber harvesting to promote healthier, more diverse forests." For a sale, they start with a timber valuation and a custom harvest plan, then carry it through to the final cut, tracking markets along the way so you get paid what the wood is worth at the time. They've managed work for private landowners as well as state agencies, and they belong to the Massachusetts Forest Alliance and the Ruffed Grouse Society. This fits a landowner in Hampshire County or nearby with a decent-sized woodlot, 15 acres or more, who wants a forester involved from the start and cares about what the land looks like after the loggers leave.

Pirner Logging & Land Clearing is based in Hubbardston, Massachusetts, doing logging and land clearing work with over 25 years of experience. They handle timber harvesting, land clearing, and they also buy standing timber. Their work covers select harvesting of timber, timberstand improvement, wildlife habitat management, house lot clearing, and timber harvesting that follows Chapter 61 forest management plans. They quote each job individually, factoring in "the wood salvage value, if any," whether it's a small lot or hundreds of acres. They say they are "Fully Licensed and Insured." They take on jobs "whether it's 1 acre to 100 acres," so a single acre is enough to get a quote. They work primarily in Central Mass but say they are available across Massachusetts and the New England area, and they are also listed as serving Worcester County. This fits a landowner with a small lot or a bigger parcel in Central Massachusetts who wants one outfit that can log the timber, clear the land, and also talk about buying the standing timber itself.

Roberts Brothers Lumber Co., Inc. is a sawmill in Ashfield, Massachusetts, in the Berkshire Hills, that also logs and buys standing timber. The company was founded in 1947 by brothers Pete and Gibby Roberts, and Pete's son Leonard runs it today with a crew of loggers, sawyers, lumber inspectors, graders, foresters, mechanics, and truck drivers. They cut and mill local pine, hemlock, white oak, hardwood, softwood, and mixed hardwood, and besides lumber they sell firewood, bark mulch, wood chips, playground material, and sawdust, so very little of a harvested tree goes to waste. Timber is trucked to their mill at Spruce Corner in Ashfield, where it's graded, scaled, and stockpiled before processing. They are a licensed timber harvester in Massachusetts and say they are "fully insured," and that their goal is "to leave your forest land healthier and looking better than it did before we harvested it." They serve Franklin County and buy saw logs from private landowners across southern New England generally. Each year they harvest 40 to 50 privately owned parcels, covering 1,500 to 2,000 acres total, on top of harvesting their own 2,000 acres of owned or leased forestland. This looks like a fit for a landowner with a sizable hardwood or softwood stand, especially white oak, pine, or hemlock, who wants one company to handle the harvest and has enough timber to interest a mill that also manages thousands of acres of its own land.

Lashway Forest Products is a timber buyer and logging outfit in Haydenville, Massachusetts. They say "We Will Buy Your Standing Timber," and that's the heart of what they do: they'll come look at your trees and make an offer. They take both hardwood and softwood, and they handle jobs of any size, from "40 trees to any amount." A licensed forester does a free survey of your land before anything is decided. They say they pay fair prices, and that payment comes in full before any cutting starts, which is worth knowing if you're nervous about getting paid after the trucks roll in. They work within 60 miles of Haydenville, covering towns across Hampshire County and the wider Pioneer Valley. The business has been around since 1964, run as a third-generation, family-owned operation out of the same Haydenville address for more than 50 years. If you're a landowner in the Hampshire County area with any number of trees to sell, standing timber of either hardwood or softwood, and you'd like a free forester's survey and payment settled before cutting begins, this is a straightforward option to call.

Anderson Timber Harvesting buys standing timber and does logging, land clearing, and forest management, working out of Westminster, Massachusetts. They've been at this since 1984. They buy both hardwood and softwood, and their own words on the deal are simple: they aim to offer a "fair and honest payout" if you want to sell your standing timber. Beyond buying timber, they also handle land clearing, forest management, wildlife habitat management, forest appraisals, and consultations. They sell and deliver log-length cordwood and wood chips too, and offer biomass options. For logging work, they state a 15 acre minimum. Land clearing has no stated minimum acreage. They say they're fully licensed and insured. Their listed service area covers Worcester County, and they also mention serving solar farm and land clearing customers in New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, and Maine. This one suits a landowner with a logging job of real size, 15 acres or more, who wants a single company that can also buy the timber outright and handle cleanup or land clearing on the same property.

Heyes Forest Products Inc is a small sawmill in Orange, Massachusetts. In their own words, "We are a small sawmill located in Orange, Massachusetts. We saw pine, hemlock, red oak, and mixed hardwoods, and sell to both wholesale and retail markets." They buy woodland and standing timber, and also offer forestry advice, management plans, Chapter 61 and Forest Stewardship plans, forest cutting plans, and conservation easement services, all under "Massachusetts licenced forestry services." They work with white pine, red oak, birch, maple, cherry, ash, white oak, and poplar, sawing about two and a half million board feet a year from the North Quabbin region. They serve Franklin County. The mill has been running since 1970, when it began manufacturing lumber, and it moved to the Orange Industrial Park in 1984. Lumber comes off a computer-controlled linebar band resaw and through computer-controlled dry kilns with a 110,000 board foot capacity, sold green or kiln dried, rough or finished. They are known for "fine quality White Pine and Red Oak" and belong to national hardwood and softwood grading agencies. Fred Heyes has also put conservation restrictions on company land held by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, part of a longer-term approach to managing the forest base. This fits a landowner in Franklin County who wants to sell standing timber or get a forestry plan done by a mill that also saws and dries its own lumber, rather than just brokering it.

Central Mass Tree Inc is a logging and timber-buying company at 10 Gardner Road in Winchendon, Massachusetts. They work in hardwood forests and handle timber harvesting, forest management plans, tree health assessments, tree inventory and valuation, selective harvesting, land clearing, and tree removal. They say plainly, "We harvest timber and we will pay you," and they require a minimum of 8 acres for a timber harvest. Their approach is built around selective harvesting and what they call "Whole-Tree Utilization," chipping the cuttings for mulch or biomass instead of leaving waste behind. They offer a free timber consultation and estimate, and they'll walk you through Chapter 61 forest management plans and timber stand improvement work if you're weighing your land's tax status alongside its timber value. They state they are fully licensed and insured, and their team includes certified foresters. They serve Central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, with a listed service area in Worcester County, and describe themselves as in their second decade of serving that area. This fits a landowner with at least 8 acres of hardwood in Central Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire who wants one call to cover the harvest, the paperwork around Chapter 61, and a forest plan, rather than hiring separate people for each piece.

Lashway Lumber is a family sawmill in Williamsburg, Massachusetts. They harvest trees from a landowner's own woodlot, custom saw the logs into boards or timbers, and finish with custom kiln drying. They also handle bark mulch, wood and playground chips, and sawdust and shavings. The wood they cut goes toward things like baseball bats and "guitars," and some of it is sent on to their family company, Ponders Hollow, to be made into flooring and millwork. If you'd rather sell your own standing timber, they say plainly: "If you have a stand of tree acreage you want to sell, be sure to call us first." They work with homeowners, construction companies, and lumber brokers, and they serve Hampshire County along with Northampton and the surrounding Hill Towns. For landowners who want to manage or forest their land, they'll walk the property with you and give a free assessment, and they say this applies to land of three acres or more, so that is their stated minimum. The business was founded in 1954 and is now run by the fourth generation of the Lashway family. They're a member of NEKDA. This one suits a landowner who wants to actually use their own wood for a project, a floor, an addition, fencing, and not just sell logs and be done with it.

W D Cowls, Inc. is a timber-buying business in Amherst, Massachusetts. It also works as an independent logger and forestry consultant, and it covers Hampshire County. The work it takes on includes "sustainable timber harvesting" and "land management," alongside buying timber. It describes itself as a "historic family-owned business," which speaks to how long it has been doing this kind of work in the area, even without a specific founding date. Beyond forestry, it also has a hand in real estate development, so if you are weighing options for your land beyond just the trees, that is part of the picture here too. No species list or tract size is spelled out, so if you have a specific stand in mind, you would want to ask directly how it fits their approach. What stands out is the long-standing, local, family-run nature of the operation, paired with a range of services that covers both the harvest itself and what happens to the land after. This fits a landowner in Hampshire County who wants to deal with a business that has deep roots in the area and handles more than just the cut, someone who might also be thinking ahead to land management or what comes next for the property.
