Rough Cut Timber and LumberVigasCorbelsSlabsFirewood+1 more

Hansen Lumber Co. Inc is a sawmill in Santa Fe, New Mexico, running since 1927. It is family owned and operated, now in its fourth generation, and still uses a circle saw to cut lumber and timbers. The mill cuts "all of our timbers and lumber from local grown New Mexico trees," working in Ponderosa Pine, Engelmann Spruce, Douglas Fir, White (concolor) Fir, and Aspen and Cedar when available. Products include rough cut timber and lumber, vigas, corbels, slabs, firewood, and sawdust. Timbers and lumber come in standard sawn sizes, with custom lengths and dimensions cut at extra cost. Hansen Lumber gets its log supply by contracting out logging work to local logging companies rather than running its own harvesting crews. It serves Santa Fe county and describes its area as northern New Mexico, going back to the days when many small saw mills operated across that part of the state before settling into its current West Alameda Street location. This is a mill and lumber yard, not a timber buyer or timber sale broker, so it fits a landowner who already has logs coming out of the woods, or who wants locally cut rough timber, vigas, corbels, slabs or firewood for a building project, rather than someone looking for help selling standing timber off their acreage.

Spotted Owl Timber Inc. is a sawmill in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They manufacture natural, custom wood products from local soft wood species, cutting Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, White Fir, and Engelmann Spruce. The mill was founded in 1991 by David Lindsey, a third generation sawmill owner, and it serves Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. Their work includes custom cut beams and timbers, rough sawn lumber, re-edging, shop services, and delivery. Beams come in #2 construction grade or better, with certified structural materials available, and the mill can cut beams up to 24" X 24" X 43'. Materials are sustainably harvested by local independent loggers, and the business notes that their "thin-kerf band mill is more efficient than traditional circle sawmills," producing less waste. They say "All are welcome, including contractors, private homebuilders and the general public." No minimum tract size is given here, so the smallest clear reference point is the kind of work they take on: custom cut beams and rough sawn lumber for building projects, not standing timber sales. This fits a landowner who already has logs or timber cut and wants it milled into beams, lumber, or custom wood products in the Santa Fe area, rather than someone looking for help selling standing timber off their land.

How much is my timber worth in Santa Fe 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 Santa Fe 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.
