Cut & Dry Lumber Company is a sawmill and lumber shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in Bernalillo County. The family has worked in the tree service trade for over 40 years, and in 2018 they started an urban sawmill to give "second life to Albuquerque trees" instead of sending them to the landfill. Working with the Baca's Trees crews, they harvest and process select tree trunks to turn into slabs. They mill with a Wood-Mizer LX 250 band mill that cuts up to 54 inches wide and 18 feet long, along with a planer, jointer, and sander for finishing. Species on hand include ash, cottonwood, cypress, elm, honey locust, juniper, maple, mulberry, pine, poplar, Russian olive, and sycamore. They do not carry kiln-dried, treated, or structural lumber. Services cover live edge slabs, custom milling, and make-to-order furnishings such as light fixtures, bar tops, river tables, benches, desks, mantles, and charcuterie boards. Wood runs $5 to $22 per board foot. To start a custom order, you call or stop by the sawmill to pick out your wood, then a work order is written up and the order is secured with a 50% deposit. This fits a landowner near Albuquerque whose tree has already been taken down and who wants the wood turned into slabs or furniture, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber off acreage.

How much is my timber worth in Bernalillo 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 Bernalillo 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.
