Creveling Sawmill is a sawmill in Washington, New Jersey, working out of Warren County. The mill was started in 1962 and has been sawing hardwood and softwood lumber since. They buy both standing timber and logs, though log buying at the mill is the main business and standing timber is more of a side line. They need volume to make it worth their while: "we would need 10 or 12 trees (20-30 logs) to make it viable," so what you have has to add up to a truckload. Right now they are buying oak, locust, and sometimes tulip poplar for that purpose. Logs need to be piled where a log loader can reach them, since the hauling is subcontracted out. They'll also cut your own logs for a fee if milling is all you need. Besides sawing, they sell slab wood and firewood, delivered within 20 miles of the mill. Their lumber covers a wide range of species: Oak, Ash, Maple, Hickory, Locust, Poplar, Yellow Pine, Spruce, Larch, Hemlock, Cherry, Walnut, and Birch. Beyond Warren County, they work into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland. The family sums up the business as "Logs to Lumber plus a couple of other things." That fits a landowner who has enough standing timber or cut logs to fill a truckload of oak, locust, or tulip poplar, more than someone with just a tree or two to sell.
