pressure treating

Bessemer Plywood Corporation runs a mill that turns logs into plywood, out of Bessemer, Michigan (their mailing address is in Ironwood). They aren't a logging crew walking your woods; they're a buyer and a mill, taking in logs harvested by independent loggers and turning them into aspen and northern softwood plywood for things like flooring, furniture frames, and house construction, plus pressure treating. What they want to buy is spelled out plainly: "We Buy Aspen, Softwood, Hardwood Timber." The logs they process come off federal, state, county, and private land across Michigan's western upper peninsula and the upper Great Lakes area, cut by independent loggers using sustainable forestry practices. For a landowner in Gogebic County with aspen or softwood on the ground, this is the kind of outfit that would be on the buying end of that wood. Log buying questions go to Jay Flynn; sales questions go through Mario Loreti. Their mill location lets them move "quick truckload shipment of highly mixed loads," which is more about how they ship product out than about what a small private seller would see, but it tells you this is a mill built for volume, not a one-man logging operation. This fits a landowner near Gogebic County with aspen or northern softwood to sell, who wants to deal with the mill itself rather than a middleman, and who is comfortable calling and asking Jay Flynn directly what size and species they're buying this year.

Wakefield, MI
logging services

G A Dalbeck Logging LLC works out of Wakefield, Michigan, taking on logging jobs for landowners in Gogebic County. The business is run by George Dalbeck, a "lifetime logger" who also owns a companion business, Dalbeck Sales LLC, at the same Wakefield address. That side of the operation sells used logging and construction equipment, parts, and supplies, including harvesters, processors, forwarders, feller bunchers, dozers, and excavators, so a landowner working with Dalbeck is dealing with someone who also handles the machinery end of the trade. Dalbeck holds certification as a "Certified Master Logger by the American Loggers Council." The business describes itself as ready to help with "all of your logging needs," covering actual logging services as well as equipment and parts for landowners or operations that need them. No particular tree species or step-by-step process for a timber sale is laid out beyond that. This suits a landowner in or near Wakefield and Gogebic County who wants a logger with a long personal history in the trade and who also keeps equipment and parts on hand, rather than someone offering a formal, spelled-out timber sale process.

How much is my timber worth in Gogebic 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.

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Gogebic 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.
