Gallatin Gateway, MT
Timber FrameTimber TrussesBox BeamsTimberSiding+1 more

Big Timberworks Inc. is a sawmill and timber frame shop in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. It works in Doug Fir and reclaimed timber, and it has been at it since 1979, when it started out as what the crew called "a coalition of log building Gypsies." The work here is building, not buying standing timber. They cut and shape timber frames, trusses, and box beams, run a sawmill for siding, paneling, and flooring, and build live edge tables, doors, mantels, railings, and signs on the side. A job starts with design, whether you bring your own sketch or a finished plan, and from there they handle shop drawings, scheduling, and the build itself. They also partner with builders, architects, and designers who need reclaimed timber and structural material for a client's project. They serve Gallatin County directly, and they describe themselves as shipping and erecting reclaimed timber frame projects across the United States, so distance is not necessarily a barrier if the project fits what they do. This one suits a landowner who already has a building or furniture project in mind, who wants reclaimed or Doug Fir timber worked into something finished, rather than someone just looking to sell standing trees off the back forty.

Circle-Sawn LumberShiplap SidingTongue & GrooveFirewoodSawdust & Animal Bedding+1 more

Montana Lumber Company is a sawmill in Three Forks, Montana. They cut and sell lumber, circle-sawn timber, and firewood to builders, homeowners, and craftsmen, mostly in Bozeman, Belgrade, Manhattan, and the greater Gallatin Valley. Their main species are Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar. They offer circle-sawn lumber in a variety of sizes, shiplap siding, tongue and groove, custom wood flooring, sawdust and animal bedding, and logs and headgates, along with "custom-cut timber beams." Kiln-drying is available to help cut down on movement and keep boards stable. They work with builders, ranchers, and repeat customers, and they take pre-orders so materials are ready when you arrive. They don't buy standing timber or walk a property to talk through a timber sale. This is a mill you bring logs to or buy finished material from, not an outfit that comes out and marks or harvests trees for you. They've been doing this for over a decade in the Gallatin Valley. This fits a landowner who already has logs down, or who wants to buy lumber or firewood, rather than someone still trying to find a logger or a buyer for standing timber on their acres.

circle sawn fir flooringband sawn boardscustom beams and timbers

Triple L Lumber Company Inc. is a sawmill in Bozeman, Montana, on Cobb Hill Road. It is not a timber buyer or a logging outfit. Instead it takes raw Douglas Fir and turns it into finished wood products for building. The work centers on kiln drying. The company runs its own dry kiln and drying sheds in Bozeman, and everything it mills is Douglas Fir. Products include circle sawn fir flooring, band sawn boards for paneling, ceilings, decks and siding, and custom beams and timbers cut to order, full sawn or FOHC. Custom beam packages take three to four weeks to process, while some FOHC beams and timbers can ship in one to three days. The company describes its goal as "architecturally dry lumber for the discerning home builder," and notes "We deliver" as part of how it gets product to customers. It serves Gallatin County and is based in Bozeman. The business was established in 2000, so it has been milling fir for over two decades from the same yard. This fits a landowner who already has Douglas Fir cut or milled and wants someone to kiln dry it and turn it into flooring, siding, beams, or trim, rather than someone to come appraise, buy, or log standing timber on their acres.

How much is my timber worth in Gallatin 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 Gallatin 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.
