Leatherstocking Timber Products, Inc, in Oneonta, New York, works as a sawmill and logger, trading as Leatherstocking Hand-Split Billet Co. It has been harvesting, processing, and brokering logs since 1994, working with maple, birch, and ash. This isn't a general sawmill buying typical landowner timber for lumber. It specializes in hand-splitting and vacuum-kiln-drying logs into baseball bat billets, producing what it calls "the most consistently straight-grained, high-yield, and visually appealing bat blanks" for bat manufacturers. The wood is "meticulously sourced within a 300-mile radius of the Leatherstocking Region in New York State," and the company is found serving Delaware County. Beyond billets, the mill also makes axe handles and custom wood pieces, and it runs a Leatherstocking Wood Bat Mill Tour at its Oneonta site, walking visitors through the whole process from raw log to finished billet. This fits a landowner in Delaware County, or within reach of New York's Leatherstocking Region, who has mature maple, birch, or ash and is curious whether that timber could end up as bat billets rather than general lumber.

How much is my timber worth in Delaware 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 Delaware 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Delaware County?
No price series is published for Delaware County on its own. New York's latest published stumpage figures (New York State DEC stumpage price report, Winter 2025) put hard maple at $550–$900 per thousand board feet. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.
