Weber Brothers Sawmill, Inc. is a sawmill and timber-buying business in Mt Pleasant, Michigan, running since 1950. They buy standing timber and logs across central and northern Michigan, and they also do logging work themselves. If you're sitting on hardwoods, they handle White Oak, Red Oak, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Cherry, White Ash, Basswood, Popple, Walnut, and Pine. A sale starts with a call to have your woodlot looked at, then they mark and cruise the timber before harvest. They say they're "fully insured" and offer "payment in advance of the harvest," which matters if you want money before the trucks show up. They hold National Hardwood Lumber Association certification, and they describe themselves as a "family operation." Past the standing timber side, they run a full mill too, sawing green and kiln-dried hardwood lumber, railroad ties, crane mats, pallet stock, treated posts, live edge bar tops, and more, so they're not just moving logs out the door, they're using the wood. This one suits a landowner in central or northern Michigan who wants a single outfit that buys the timber, logs it, and mills it, and who likes knowing payment comes before the cutting starts.

How much is my timber worth in Isabella 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 Isabella 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.
