Log Sales & Procurement

About Log Sales & Procurement

Log Sales & Procurement is the log buying side of Independent Stave Company, a family-owned cooperage in Missouri. Log Procurement & Sales is one of the company's lines of business, alongside its barrels, staves and oak alternatives. The company has operated since 1912 and sells to customers in more than 40 countries. It buys white oak and stave quality oak logs, and it names hardwood species as well. In its own words, "We actively buy white oak logs throughout the United States." It also sources oak from its network of loggers and landowners. Its Log Procurement team works with local loggers on harvests that supply its stave mills in Kentucky and the adjacent states. The company also offers timber harvest and forestry and land management work. For log buying or selling, the company asks people to use its contact form. Suppliers must follow water quality best management practices in the states where they work, and each harvest site needs at least one qualified logger recognized through the SFI State Implementation Committee program. The company complies with the SFI Fiber Sourcing and Chain of Custody Standard and, where applicable, the PEFC Chain of Custody Standard. This suits a landowner with mature white oak who wants a buyer that writes its harvest rules down and follows forest certification standards. From independentstavecompany.com, read 3 October 2026.
