Selling Timber in Schuyler County, NY

Wagner Hardwoods is a sawmill business based in Cayuta, New York. It also buys timber and offers forestry consulting, and it is a member of the Baillie Group. It runs sawmills at three New York locations: Owego, Cayuta, and Davenport. The company buys logs and standing timber, provides forest management, timber appraisal, and log purchasing, and turns the logs it buys into hardwood lumber. In its own words, "Wagner Hardwoods purchases logs and provides lumber for the top species of hardwoods." It also states, "Wagner is one of the largest consumers of hardwood logs in the Northeastern U.S., utilizing 60 MMBF of logs annually." It sources hardwood logs and standing timber across most of New York and Pennsylvania, and is named here as serving Schuyler County. This suits a landowner in New York or Pennsylvania who wants to deal directly with a mill that buys logs and standing timber itself, and who also wants an appraisal or forest management advice alongside the sale, rather than hiring a separate logger and buyer.

Hector Logging is a family-owned logging crew based in Hector, New York, working in the Finger Lakes region. They've been logging in the Finger Lakes since 1983. They take on selective hardwood harvesting, low-impact logging, and woodlot management, with particular markets for Black Walnut and White Oak. The crew walks your land first and identifies which trees to take, then gives you an estimate of timber value with a minimum guarantee. They work on a percentage split of the timber value, selling logs on site, and you get log tallies and a sale breakdown when it's done. They also clear and grade woods roads as part of the job. Their stated approach is to "cut trees to grow trees," balancing a harvest now against the woodlot's health later. Their base is in Hector, and they describe their work radius as flexible for the right jobs, serving Schuyler County. They look for properties with a minimum of 10 acres of standing timber. This suits a landowner in Schuyler County with a hardwood lot of at least 10 acres, especially one with walnut or oak, who wants a crew that plans for what the woods look like afterward, not just what comes out of them now.

Seneca Saw Works Inc is in Burdett, New York. This isn't a timber buyer or logger. They work on sawmills themselves, selling saws and sharpening and maintaining the tools a mill runs on. Their line covers headrig and carbide saws, chipper and planer knives, mill alignment systems, and other mill supplies. On the service side they do saw hammering, saw welding, carbide grinding, and planer knife grinding. They also come out for troubleshooting, consulting, and training, and say they can travel "anywhere in the world for an on site evaluation, consultation, troubleshooting, or training session." They also run a hands-on saw hammering course, from a few days up to a full week, tailored to what the trainee already knows. No counties or towns served are named beyond Burdett, and the business doesn't give a minimum tract size since it isn't buying or logging timber at all. They do say costs are explained up front: "All costs explained up front with no hidden fees." This fits a landowner who already has a mill running, or who hires a mill operator, and needs saws kept sharp, aligned, and working right, not someone who needs their standing timber cruised, bought, or cut.
