Salt City Woods, Mill & Kiln, LLC is a mill and kiln shop in Liverpool, New York. They don't buy standing timber or log land. Instead they work with wood that's already been cut, mostly yard trees and street trees taken down by municipalities and tree services, and turn it into kiln dried slabs and dimensional wood. If you've got a landowner's question about who will come cut your timber, this isn't that business. But if you've already got logs, or you're curious where salvaged wood ends up, they keep a changing inventory of Ash, Butternut, Maple, Oak, Sycamore, Cherry and Black Walnut, all kiln dried in house. They can also flatten tables, bar tops and slabs on their CNC machine, and they'll work with you to design a custom piece. In their words, "we are not loggers and simply repurpose a great natural resource into usable material that will continue to live on." This fits someone who wants finished or custom wood products, not a standing timber sale. If you own acres of trees and want to know who will cut and buy your timber, look elsewhere on this directory. If you want slabs, tables, or dimensional wood sourced from trees already down in the Syracuse area, Salt City Woods is worth a call. From saltcitywoods.com, read 11 October 2026.

How much is my timber worth in Onondaga 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 Onondaga 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.
