Selling Timber in Branch County, MI

Two Fellers Live Edge Lumber is a sawmill and custom furniture shop in Coldwater, Michigan. They're not in the business of buying standing timber off your land for forest management. Instead, they work with urban yard trees, the kind coming down because they're dead, damaged, diseased, or in the way of development, and turn them into rough-cut live edge slabs and custom furniture. They're a partnership between two brothers, Justin and Jerry Avery, one of whom owns a tree service and the other a residential construction company. That combination is their whole approach: "it allows us to reclaim every urban tree that may have otherwise ended up in a landfill." They cut, kiln dry, and finish everything in-house, and they'll also take on custom sawing and drying if you've got a log from your own property you want turned into lumber rather than firewood. Species they work with include oak, cherry, maple, walnut, English walnut, butternut, cedar, cottonwood, ginkgo, mulberry, osage orange, pine, poplar, redwood, and a few less common ones like flame boxelder and red flame sycamore. They serve Branch County, Michigan, and describe their broader reach as Southern Michigan. They've been doing this since 2017. This fits a landowner who has one yard tree or a small pile of logs to deal with, not a standing stand of timber to sell, and who wants it turned into slabs or furniture rather than cashed out as a timber sale.
