Sawkill Lumber LLC is a sawmill and lumber business in Brooklyn, New York. They mill salvaged and regionally harvested wood into flooring, paneling, and dimensional lumber, working mostly with reclaimed material and bringing in new white and red oak when reclaimed stock won't do. This is not a business that buys standing timber or logs trees on your land. They work with wood already cut, much of it pulled from old city buildings, and mill it to order. Species on hand include white oak, red oak, cypress, redwood, longleaf pine, Douglas fir, and northeast softwoods, sold as flooring, paneling, or dimensional lumber. They say "we primarily work with reclaimed lumber," and ask that you call ahead, since visits to their Brooklyn warehouse are "by appointment." They serve Kings County. No minimum tract size is given. If you have standing timber to sell, this isn't the shop for it. But if you're a landowner with a building coming down, or old timber already cut and sitting in a barn or a pile, and you want it milled into something useful rather than hauled off, Sawkill Lumber LLC is worth a call.

How much is my timber worth in Kings 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 Kings 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.
