They're particular about what they take in: "We buy really nice logs good timbers only comes from good logs." That's worth knowing if you're deciding whether your stand is a fit before you call. This listing doesn't give a stated minimum acreage or tract size, so there's no number to pass along here. This suits a landowner near Polson who has good quality logs and wants them custom sawn into beams and lumber, or who wants to sell standing timber to a local buyer rather than ship logs out of the area.

Stevensville, MT
timber-frame packagescustomer-log millingrough-cut or planed finish

Camas Creek Custom Lumber is a working sawmill in Stevensville, Montana. If you've got logs on your own land and want them turned into usable wood, this is the kind of place that does that work directly, cutting "full-dimension lumber, timbers and beams for builders, lumber buyers and individual projects." They cut Douglas fir as their main species, with pine, larch, spruce and cottonwood available depending on the order and what's in stock. Besides milling your own logs, they offer timber-frame packages and will cut rough or planed finish, whatever the project calls for. The process starts with a quote request where you list species, dimensions, quantity and finish, and from there "Camas Creek reviews order details as part of the quote process" before talking price and availability. They've been at this since 1998, starting with a circle sawmill in Darby before moving to bandsaw milling and then to their own Stevensville property. Most customers pick up material at the mill; there's no routine local delivery, though freight can sometimes be arranged for large multi-state orders. They work out of Stevensville and are listed as serving Ravalli County. This one suits a landowner who already knows they want logs sawn into lumber or timbers rather than a standing-timber sale, and who doesn't mind hauling logs in or picking up finished material at the mill.

Thompson Falls, MT
log receivingshippingtransportation - Rail (BNSF), Truckloading

Thompson River Lumber is a sawmill and timber buyer in Thompson Falls, Montana, up in the northwestern part of the state. It was founded in 1993 by Roger Claridge as a family business, and it's still run that way today, with Dan Claridge handling the day to day work at the mill. If you've got timber to sell, this is a place that buys harvested logs straight from landowners. They say they pay a "fair and reasonable price," and they take timber ranging from 42 inches down to 5.6 inches on the top end, across five different species. When you sell to them, you work from a Log Purchase Agreement, and specific cutting instructions come as part of that timber contract package, so you know what's expected before any logging starts. They also do their own log receiving, loading, and shipping, moving lumber out by rail on BNSF and by truck. Beyond private landowners, Thompson River Lumber also partners with the Montana Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs on harvesting work tied to forest health. They have foresters on staff to talk through a sale or answer questions about where to go next with your timber. This looks like a fit for someone in or near northwestern Montana who already has timber cut, or close to it, and wants a straightforward buyer and mill rather than someone to walk a small, uncut tract from the ground up.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers are there in Montana?

8 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Montana forestry register, covering 5 counties between them.

How do I choose between them?

Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
