Custom Restoration MouldingsOriginal Wood MouldingsWooden Curved Mouldings

SAW Moulding is a millwork shop in Kingston, New York, in Ulster County. If you've got hardwood lumber and need it turned into finished trim rather than sold as standing timber, this is the kind of place that does that end of the work. They make custom and original wood mouldings, working from hardwood lumber, and they also do curved mouldings using CNC machines and curved moulders for walls, doorways, and exterior work. You can pick from their catalog of profiles or bring your own design, and each piece is "crafted & meticulously inspected in Kingston, NY." They also take on custom restoration moulding, matching trim in older houses. The business was started by Gary Spiegel in 1981, and it's still run by Gary with his son Emmet. They mainly deliver to the tri-state area with their own trucks, and say plainly, "We deliver." This isn't a place to call about selling standing timber or getting a logging job done. It fits a landowner who already has hardwood lumber milled or sourced and wants it shaped into custom mouldings, trim, or restoration woodwork for a house or building project.

Stone Ridge, NY
portable sawmillingtree cuttingsmall-scale, low impact logging

Ulster County Sawing LLC runs a portable sawmill service out of Stone Ridge, New York. Owner C.J. Greene started the business in 2005 to give property owners "a portable sawmilling service they can rely on," after struggling himself to find a mill operator who would cut logs on time, call back when the job was done, and turn out "lumber that was consistent in width and thickness." That's still the core of the work: he brings the mill to your property instead of you hauling logs somewhere. Beyond milling, Ulster County Sawing also does tree cutting and small-scale, low impact logging. Greene is New York Logger Trained (NYLT), a state program covering safe felling, controlled tree drop, worksite management, and silviculture. The business serves Ulster County and has stayed small on purpose, which Greene says lets him give each property owner individual attention rather than treating jobs as interchangeable. This fits a landowner in Ulster County who wants a mill to come to them, who cares about getting back straight, evenly cut lumber, and who'd rather deal with the same person from first call to finished boards.

MJM Forest Products LLc is a father and son logging company working out of Ulster County, New York. They call themselves "a father and son commercial logging company that specializes in forest management and timber harvesting within the Catskill region and Hudson Valley of New York," and that's the ground they cover, including Ulster County itself. The work runs from commercial timber harvesting to storm cleanup, land clearing, utility tractor work, timber stand improvement, and cut and split firewood. They cut hardwood. On a harvest, they say, "We pay landowners competitive market prices for their standing timber," and they use the leftover tops for firewood rather than leaving them in the woods. Mike Arnold Jr. and Mike Arnold Sr. run it together, with over 60 years of combined experience between them in forestry operations and education. They're insured for liability and workers' comp, and the son is NYS logger training certified. Their approach, as they put it, is to use "experience and networking to maximize profits for landowners, while also minimizing damage to the residual stand to ensure a healthy crop of trees for the next generation," which is the kind of thing a landowner who plans to keep the woodlot in the family wants to hear. This fits a landowner in the Catskill or Hudson Valley area who wants one outfit to handle everything from the harvest itself to the storm damage and brush that comes with owning wooded land, rather than hiring out each piece separately.

Tri-State Hardwoods Ltd. is a buyer and seller of hardwood veneer and sawlogs, based in Accord, New York. They have been at it for "more than 20 years," working both domestic and overseas markets. They deal in Red Oak, White Oak, Hard Maple, Walnut, Hickory, Cherry and Ash, and they handle all grades, from high end panel veneer down to grade logs and table tops. They mention a niche in skateboard and baseball bat grade Maple and White Ash, so if you've got Maple or Ash with the right character, it may be worth a call. Their own procurement team covers veneer slicing and grading, lumber production and grading, and rotary cut veneer. Their sourcing area runs through Northern NY, Northern PA, and Vermont. They are found in Ulster County, New York, under the logging contractor category, though what they describe themselves doing is buying and selling logs rather than running harvest jobs. No tract size or acreage is mentioned, and no sale process for a landowner is spelled out, just an invitation to "call or email us today with your inquiries for American Hardwood Logs." This fits a landowner who already knows they have quality veneer-grade hardwood logs, particularly Oak, Maple, Walnut, Hickory, Cherry, or Ash, and wants to reach a buyer with export and grading experience, rather than someone looking for a full-service harvest walked through step by step.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Ulster County?

9 businesses are listed for Ulster County: 0 consulting foresters and 9 buyers, loggers and mills. 6 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Ulster 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 Ulster 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.

What is timber worth in Ulster County?

No price series is published for Ulster 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.
