sidingexterior trimfascia / soffitwood accentstongue & groove ceiling

Glacier Millworks is a sawmill based at 135 Industrial CT in Kalispell, Montana, in Flathead County. Rather than buying standing timber or logging tracts, they take cedar, douglas fir, and pine boards and turn them into finished products for building exteriors and interiors. Their work covers siding, exterior trim, fascia and soffit, wood accents, and tongue and groove ceiling boards. They describe their approach as "Montana-milled and Montana-finished," with boards custom-milled to the project and then hand-finished in house using what they call proprietary treatments. Customers can order a sample before committing to a full order. The company traces back to 2004, when Greg Riska and Bryant Bach got their start as day-labor painters before working their way up through the finish industry over the following two decades. Glacier Millworks grew out of that experience, built around in-house milling and finishing rather than outside suppliers. This is a fit for a landowner or builder who already has logs or lumber in hand and wants it custom milled and finished for siding, trim, or ceiling work, not someone looking to sell standing timber off their acreage.

selective harvestingsustainable logging

RBM Lumber Inc. is a sawmill and logging business in Columbia Falls, Montana. They've been at it since 1980, started by a family that's now in its third generation of running the place. They cut timber themselves and mill it into lumber, serving Flathead County and the wider Northwest Montana area. The species they work with include Douglas fir, fir, larch, hemlock, cedar, spruce, and Grand fir. Their approach leans toward "selective harvesting" rather than clear-cutting: they use smaller, less expensive logging equipment and hand saw each tree with a chainsaw, which they say keeps them "more in touch with the forest" and helps with decisions about what to take and what to leave. They also take in salvage timber, trees that are fire-killed, blown down, or beetle-killed. Once logs come in, they mill them into beams, rough lumber, siding, decking, flooring, trim, and paneling, and they run a door shop on site making solid wood doors from the lumber they cut. Nothing stated here gives a minimum tract size for timber sale work. This looks like a fit for a landowner in Flathead County or nearby who wants selective logging rather than a clear-cut, and who likes the idea of the logger and the mill being the same outfit.

How much is my timber worth in Flathead 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 Flathead 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.
