White Mountain Lumber is a sawmill in Berlin, New Hampshire, with a retail building supply store attached. The sawmill traces back to 1945, when Emmet J. Kelley and Arthur Napert bought the assets of a bankrupt mill and built it from there. Today the mill processes about 8 million board feet a year of hemlock, spruce, red pine, Tamarack, and hardwood logs into wholesale lumber, custom lumber, timbers, gradestakes, and pallets. Logs come in by length and diameter, hemlock and red pine and spruce in 12, 14, and 16 foot lengths among others, hardwood pallet logs from 8 to 16 feet, all scaled using the International quarter inch log rule. Logs can be dropped off with self-loaders at any time, with receiving hours Monday through Friday 7am to 4pm; a trip ticket goes with each load. For current prices, a logyard contact at the mill takes the call. The sawmill's lumber customers are in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, while the retail side serves Coos, Grafton, and Carroll counties in New Hampshire. The mill itself sits in Coos County. As the company puts it, "You Should See What We Saw." This fits a landowner who already has logs cut and ready to deliver to a mill, rather than someone looking for help marking, cruising, or selling standing timber.

How much is my timber worth in Coos 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Coos 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.
