Timber Buyers

Valley View Forestry and Logging Company is a timber buying and logging business based in Ohio, working in Medina County. They buy standing timber, log it, and also do consulting forestry, so a landowner can get the whole job done through one outfit instead of juggling separate contractors. They look for black walnut trees and logs, white oak trees and logs, veneer and export logs, and general hardwood standing timber. Their process starts with a call to set up an appointment, then an in-house forester comes out to inventory and mark your woods, appraise the value, and put together a contract before any cutting starts. After marking, their loggers cut and skid the marked trees to a landing, a truck hauls the logs to the sawmill, and the crew cleans up the landing and skid trails when the job is done. They state a minimum of 5 acres, in their words "5+ Acres of Mature Hardwood Standing Timber." They also note they are not after the biggest trees in the woods, saying "BIG TREES BIG PROBLEMS" because oversized trees can cut poorly and damage what is left standing. They list themselves as an Ohio Forestry Certified Master Logging Company and say they have been at this for almost three decades. This fits a Medina County landowner with at least 5 acres of mature hardwood, especially one with walnut or white oak, who wants a forester to mark and appraise the woods before any logger sets foot on it.

Ohio Valley Veneer is a sawmill and timber buyer based in Piketon, Ohio, on St Rt 124. The company was "establish by Edward and Carol Robbins in 1990" and has grown into a family-run operation with several mill locations across the region. OVV specializes in "the timbering and cutting of hardwoods." They buy and cut Walnut, Red and White Oak, Hard and Soft Maple, Poplar, Hickory, and Ash, producing plain sawn and quarter sawn green lumber in lengths up to 16 feet and thicknesses from 4/4 to 16/4. Their timberlands are mostly Appalachian Hardwoods, and the company owns over 3,000 acres across Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia, with additional acreage under timber contracts. Locally, they're listed as serving Pike County. The business has been passed down through three generations, tracing back to family sawmills that date to World War 2. Today it runs multiple mills, including locations handling walnut-only production and general hardwood sawing, together cutting around 30 to 32 million board feet of Appalachian Hardwood annually. This is a larger, established outfit with deep roots in the hardwood business, more suited to a landowner with a substantial stand of hardwood timber who wants a buyer with long-standing family ties to the region and multiple mill operations to move logs through.

Fisher Logging LLC is a family-run logging and timber business based in Burton, Ohio, with a showroom at 8737 Mayfield Rd in Chesterland. They buy standing timber, log it, clear land, and can turn your trees into lumber or live edge slabs. They call what they do "sustainable, horse-drawn tree service for property owners." They work with oak, maple, walnut, pine, cedar, and fir. For a timber sale, they say their team "conducts thorough assessments to determine the quality and quantity of timber available," then gives a competitive offer based on market conditions, with prompt payment. Their logging work includes selective cutting as well as full land clearing, and they specialize in horse-drawn harvesting and stump grinding. They also mill lumber to size and sell hand-selected, kiln-dried live edge slabs out of their Chesterland showroom, open most weekdays and Saturday mornings. They list Geauga County as served, with a broader footprint across Northeast Ohio for lumber delivery. There's no stated minimum acreage. The smallest job they show on their site is clearing about 60 large trees that were leaning around a customer's house, which wasn't a timber sale, so that's the best clue to how small a property they'll take on. This fits a landowner in or near Geauga County who wants low-impact, horse-drawn logging, maybe some land clearing thrown in, and the option to walk away with their own lumber or a slab for a table instead of just a check.

K&B Lumber is a standing timber buyer, logging company, and furniture grade lumber mill based in Charm, Ohio, in Holmes County. They buy timber and log it themselves, then run it through their own mill, so you deal with one outfit instead of a logger, a buyer, and a broker. Their main work is standing timber logging, and they use select cutting rather than clear cutting, taking the trees ready for harvest and leaving the rest. Along with that they do reseeding after a harvest to help the ground recover. The lumber they mill goes toward furniture grade wood and larger timbers for railroad bridge work. Their crew is trained and certified by the ODNR Division of Forestry in best management practices covering water quality, erosion control, felling, safety, and first aid, and they describe themselves as "Master Loggers." They've been in business since 1993. They work from Northeastern Ohio down into the central part of the state, with Holmes County named as served, and a long list of other counties including Coshocton, Knox, Stark, Wayne, Richland, Ashland, Licking, Muskingum, Tuscarawas, and Guernsey, among others. The minimum is 10 acres or 100 trees, stated plainly on their own form. They describe their approach as "Honest Service" at every stage from planning to clean up. This fits a landowner in or near Holmes County with at least 10 acres who wants one business to handle the cutting and the milling, not just a buyer who hands the job off to someone else.

Trumbull County Hardwoods, LTD. buys standing hardwood timber and runs the logging crew that cuts it, out of Middlefield, Ohio. They work with Oak, Cherry, Maple, Hickory, and Walnut, and they buy veneer-grade logs as well as regular sawtimber.

Their own words: "we specialize in buying standing hardwood timber and supplying premium hardwood products to landowners and businesses across Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania." They list Licensed, insured as a credential and say they use "certified forestry management practices." They've worked with landowners in Geauga, Trumbull, Ashtabula and surrounding counties for over 30 years. They serve landowners within a 100-mile radius of Middlefield, Ohio, naming Ashtabula County, Geauga County, Trumbull County, and Crawford County along with Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania more broadly.

Mountain Run Forestry, LLC buys standing timber and logs it, with an office in Fredonia, Pennsylvania. The business says "We Buy Standing Timber in Ohio and Pennsylvania" and works timber tracts in Trumbull County, Ohio, as well as across Pennsylvania. They take hardwoods and softwoods, any size or grade, and they run their own sawmill and flooring shop, so the wood can go from standing tree to finished floor. Their process starts with a consultation on your property to talk over your goals. From there they put together a management plan, mark the trees to cut, then handle the cutting, hauling, and reforestation themselves. They describe their work as "complete services from tree harvesting to finished flooring," and they also mention sustainable practices and color matching services for anyone wanting new flooring to blend with what's already down. There's no acreage minimum stated anywhere on their pages. This fits a landowner in Ohio or Pennsylvania, especially Trumbull County, who wants one outfit to handle the whole chain, from marking trees to a finished floor in the house, rather than juggling a logger, a mill, and a flooring company separately.

Advanced Hardwoods LLC is a full service logging company based in Fredericksburg, Ohio. They buy standing timber, tracts of land, and logs, and run their own sawmill, so they can work as a timber buyer, a logger, and a mill all at once.

They buy oak, poplar, cherry, walnut, ash, aspen, basswood, beech, birch, butternut, catalpa, elm, gum, hemlock, hickory, locust, maple, sycamore, tulip, yellow pine and yellow poplar. Their process: a timber buyer comes to your property, appraises and grades the timber, and advises on what they feel is the wisest management for future growth. They say they are "eliminating the middle man" and offer payment in advance of harvest. Staff include certified foresters and master loggers, and the business has been operating for over three decades. They prefer a minimum of five acres, though they say they may harvest less depending on the property, such as an "excellent walnut crop." Their service area covers North and Central Ohio, including Sandusky, Erie, Lorain, Seneca, Huron, Medina, Wyandot, Crawford, Richland, Ashland, Wayne, Stark, Marion, Morrow, Knox, Holmes, Tuscarawas, Carroll, Delaware, Licking, Coshocton, Harrison, Muskingum, and Guernsey counties.

Kline Timber Company is a timber buyer, logger, and sawmill business in Greenville, Ohio. They buy standing timber, log it, and mill walnut logs into lumber themselves, then sell that lumber on to lumber companies that dry it. Their main focus is Black Walnut, though they also work with other hardwood trees. The work includes selective harvesting and timber management, and they describe themselves as a "low impact logging crew" using smaller equipment to reduce the mark left on the woods. If you call, "a member of our team will walk you through the process and answer your questions," which is how a sale or job gets started, by phone, at (937) 548-4701. They name Greenville, Ohio as the area they work in and say Darke County is served. The business is a family-owned company that started in 1964. This fits a landowner in or near Greenville or Darke County who has walnut timber, or a mix of hardwoods, and wants a buyer who also mills the wood rather than just brokering it. If your main interest is walnut specifically, and you'd rather work with a small, long-running family operation than a larger outfit, Kline Timber Company is worth the phone call.

Ohio Timber Works is an Ohio based timber buyer and logging company that works directly with private landowners to evaluate standing timber and carry out the harvest. They buy standing hardwood timber, do the logging and trucking, handle cleanup afterward, and offer reforestation support if you want it. They also broker logs for buyers and offer forestry consulting. The species they focus on are Walnut, White Oak, Maple, Hickory, Red Oak, Black Walnut, and Hard Maple. A sale typically starts with a timber assessment, where they walk the woods and look at species, size, quality, and volume. From there you get an offer and a harvest plan that covers access, terrain, and timing. Harvest follows, with mature trees taken and younger trees protected where possible, then logs are sorted and placed with mills, veneer buyers, or other markets. Cleanup and stabilization of landings and trails happens after the work is done. They describe their approach as a "selective harvest approach focused on long-term value" and talk about giving landowners "honest timber evaluation" before any decisions are made. Their listed service area is Ohio and the surrounding region, and their consulting and buying work is noted as covering Montgomery County specifically. This fits a landowner with mature hardwoods, especially walnut or oak, who wants someone to handle the whole process from standing timber through trucking and cleanup, and who wants the harvest planned with the next stand in mind rather than just getting everything cut at once.

JD Logging is a logging outfit and timber buyer based in Orwell, Ohio, with 35 years in the woods and on the ground. They're Amish-owned, and they've recently added excavating, so a property can go from standing timber to graded, finished ground without bringing in a second contractor. They take on select cuts and full harvests, and they buy standing timber too, with oak, maple, walnut, and cherry named as the hardwoods they focus on. A sale starts with an on-site look at your timber, then they give you a no-obligation offer based on species, size, and quality. Once you say yes, they log it and clean up after, leaving the property "ready for its next use." They also do land clearing, grading, ponds, and foundation work with waterproofing if that's what you need instead of or alongside a timber sale. They serve Ashtabula county directly, and name Geauga, Trumbull, Portage, Cuyahoga, Mercer, and Erie as other counties they reach. JD Logging works tracts of 10 or more wooded acres, start to finish, and that is a stated minimum, not a guess. If your land is smaller than that, this isn't the fit. This suits a landowner with a decent-sized wooded tract who wants one crew to handle the cut and the cleanup, and who might also need dirt work done on the same property afterward.

Stutzman Bros. Lumber works out of Windsor, Ohio, buying standing timber and logging it themselves.

They are direct purchasers and end users, not a broker reselling your contract to someone else. Their own pitch is blunt: "WE WANT TO BUY YOUR TIMBER." They offer free estimates for logging standing timber, say they'll work closely with you through the buying process to meet your goals, and will provide references if you ask. They carry an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. No tree species or acreage minimum are named on their pages. This fits a landowner in Ashtabula County or nearby who wants to deal straight with the outfit that will actually cut and move the logs, rather than a middleman.

Superior Hardwoods of Ohio, Inc. is a sawmill company based in Wellston, Ohio, with other locations in McArthur, Cambridge, and Vincent, Ohio, and a log yard in Parkersburg, West Virginia. They buy timber, log it, mill it, and also put together forest management plans for landowners. The company has been at it since 1974 and says it is now in its "Four Generations" of family operation. They work in Ash, Cherry, Hickory, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Red Oak, White Oak, Poplar, and Walnut, and they cut both green and kiln-dried lumber. Their process is to appraise and purchase the timber, harvest it according to the landowner's plan, and then manage replenishment for future forest health. Their foresters hold degrees in forest management from schools like Hocking College, the University of Kentucky, and West Virginia University, with some of the team carrying 25 plus years in the field. They describe their work as "responsible logging, precision milling," done across Ohio, West Virginia, and Northern Appalachia, and they're named as serving Jackson County specifically. There's no stated minimum acreage, but their forestry page talks about assessing "each parcel of timber," suggesting they'll look at individual tracts of any size rather than turning away smaller ones outright. This is a fit for a landowner who wants a company with its own mills, its own foresters on staff, and a long family history behind it, rather than a single independent buyer working alone.

Arrow Forest, LLC buys hardwood veneer logs out of a log yard at 1505 Neubrecht Road in Lima, Ohio, in Allen County. The company was incorporated in Beaverton, Oregon in 2012, and that same year it opened the Lima, Ohio yard along with a second yard in Wallaceton, Pennsylvania. In 2014 it added a hardwood plywood importing and distribution business alongside the log buying. On the log side they take Brown Ash, White Ash, Basswood, Black Walnut, Cherry, Hickory, Curly Maple, Hard Maple, Soft Maple, Black Oak, Chestnut Oak, Red Oak, Swamp Oak, White Oak, Red Elm, Sassafras, and Yellow Poplar. They describe themselves as "located in the heart of Walnut, White Oak and Black Cherry country" and say they look for "very large diameter Walnut and White Oak Veneer Logs for specialty veneer projects and tabletop applications." Their staff has more than 40 years in the American hardwood log trade, and the business also runs log purchase and sales contacts out of the Ohio yard for buying logs on the open market. This is a log yard and veneer buyer, not a logging crew that comes out and cuts your trees. A landowner in or near Allen County, Ohio with large, high quality walnut, white oak, or black cherry worth veneer money is the one who would want to talk to them, more than someone with a mixed small woodlot wanting a full harvest handled start to finish.

Taylor Creek Timber is a family owned timber buying and logging business based in Kenton, Ohio. They buy standing timber and also log it themselves, working in Hardin County. Their focus is selective harvesting of mature timber, the kind of cut meant to "ensure a future crop for generations to come" rather than clearing a woodlot all at once. The forester and timber buyer, James K. Allsup, graduated from Hocking College with a Forest Management Degree, and he is the eighth generation in his family to work in the timber trade, following his father Ken W. Allsup and the generations before him. Rather than a one-time transaction, they describe their approach as building a relationship with landowners and continuing "to work with them through the years to manage their woodlands." That points to a business that expects to come back to the same property over time, not just cut and leave. This looks like a fit for a landowner in or near Hardin County who wants an ongoing hand managing a woodlot across years, not just a single timber sale, and who likes knowing the forester behind the offer has formal training and generations of family experience in the same work.

They buy "standing timber from one to hundreds of trees," and they handle saw logs, veneer logs, firewood, domestic species, and walnut, along with exotic lumber. Their process starts with a walk through your woods to talk over your goals, then they mark the trees that fit what you want, agree on a price, and sign a contract. They state plainly: "We will pay you in full before we start the job." They serve Knox County. They list a Certified Forester on staff and say they have been in business over 5 years. There's no stated minimum acreage. The smallest job mentioned on their site is a customer who had their crew "cut some walnut" for him, so smaller jobs like that seem to be within reach. This fits a landowner who wants one business to handle the cutting, the hauling, and turning logs into lumber or flooring afterward, not just a timber sale.

North Blue Wood LLC is a timber buyer in Lima, Ohio. They buy standing timber, and they work in walnut, focused on the "export of premium walnut logs" to international markets. What they take on is specific: standing timber, saw logs, and veneer, all walnut. They talk about building long relationships with loggers and about "sustainable practices" as part of how they operate. Allen County is the county they're tied to. There's no minimum tract size stated anywhere they publish, so if you've got a smaller stand of walnut, a call to 567-219-1413 is the way to find out if it's worth their time. This fits a landowner sitting on walnut, and walnut specifically, who wants a buyer with an export angle rather than a general all-species logger. From northbluewood.com, read 8 October 2026.

ABC Timber Works LLC is a logging company based in Wooster, Ohio. They cut timber, buy timber, and also do land clearing and site work, so they can be the one call for a harvest and whatever cleanup follows it. Their work covers sustainable harvesting, selective cutting, and thinning, along with land clearing, brush and tree removal, debris hauling, and site prep for building. On the timber buying side they do timber valuation, volume estimation, and market analysis, so there's a process behind the number they offer you, not just a guess. They describe their approach as "environmentally responsible logging practices" and say they aim to ensure "the long-term health of your forest." They're Master Logger Certified by the Ohio Forestry Association. They serve Wayne County and nearby areas, working out of Wooster. There's no stated minimum acreage on their pages, so it's not clear how small a tract they'd take on. This fits a Wayne County landowner who wants one company to handle the cutting and the land work together, and who wants a certified logger explaining the numbers before anything gets cut. From abctimberworks.com, read 8 October 2026.

Mohawk Lumber Ltd is a sawmill company and buyer of standing timber in Apple Creek, Ohio.

They describe themselves as "fully-insured" and say their foresters develop a plan with each landowner for their woodlands. They buy timber mostly in Ohio, and serve Wayne County specifically. Their own pages state plainly that most of their timber comes from landowners who own 5 or more acres. This one suits a landowner with at least 5 acres of hardwood who wants the money up front before any cutting starts, and who likes the idea of a smaller, long-running family mill rather than a large outside buyer. From mohawklumber.com, read 8 October 2026.

Shady Lane Sawmill LLC is a sawmill in Wooster, Ohio, serving Wayne County. It is family owned, starting in the sawmill industry in 2004, and has grown from two employees to a team of ten. The mill works in both hardwood and softwood. Its services go beyond cutting lumber: cutstock, new pallets, swamp mats, hunting blinds, cabins, timber frame pavilions, log siding, railroad ties, and firewood. It also does log purchasing, buying hardwood and softwood logs outright. For built structures, it offers "pickup, delivery, or full setup," and pallets are "manufactured in-house for consistent quality." There is no stated minimum acreage, and no job references with acreage are given, so there is no way to size up what the smallest job looks like from what is shown. This fits a landowner near Wayne County, Ohio who wants to sell logs rather than just get timber cut, or who might want a pavilion, cabin, or hunting blind built from the same wood coming off their land. From shadylanesawmill.com, read 8 October 2026.

M & W Lumber is a hardwood timber harvesting company based in Homerville, Ohio, with its own mill. It buys standing hardwood timber and is looking for sellers all year round. Along with harvesting, it does custom sawing and sells debarked slab wood for firewood. The species it takes include red oak, white oak, poplar, walnut, maple, basswood, hickory, and cherry. The work starts with a free evaluation of your property and timber, and once you agree on an offer, the crew comes in to harvest. After the trees are down, they come back through to reclaim the site, cleaning up the staging area and any paths the equipment left behind. On payment, the business says "Sellers can expect a down payment before the contract is signed and full payment before the first tree is harvested." It's listed as serving Medina County, and its own pages describe buying timber "throughout the year" across Ohio. The business has been going since 1999. Besides timber buying, it's also listed as an independent logger and a mill, which fits with the custom sawing and slab wood services it offers on the side. This fits a landowner in or near Medina County who has mixed hardwoods like oak, maple, cherry, or walnut standing and wants one outfit to evaluate, cut, and clean up after the job, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

The work they take on covers timber harvesting, manufacturing lumber, and log and lumber sales. They serve Stark County.

After the harvest they also do soil stabilization, level the landings and skid roads, and finish with grading and re-seeding where needed. Their procurement team says they have around 20 years each working timber stands across Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Southwestern New York, and West Virginia. For TimberClear's purposes, they're listed serving Geauga County. They require "a minimum of 100 trees or 10 acres per job." This fits a landowner with a sizeable hardwood stand who wants the buyer to also do the cutting and the cleanup, in one deal with one company, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

Hershberger Manufacturing buys standing timber, out of Windsor, Ohio, in Ashtabula County. They've been at it since 2002. They buy timber, both "lower grade timber" and "top quality hardwoods and veneers," and they bring in portable sawmills to cut and process the wood right on your property. That's how they say they're able to pay well for both ends of the pile, the rough stuff and the good stuff. Owner John Hershberger started out in the pallet business back in 1988, moved the operation to Windsor in 1993, and shifted to buying standing timber full time after a fire took out his pallet shop in 2018. The company is Amish owned and operated. No acreage minimum is spelled out, so there's nothing to pass along there one way or the other. John Hershberger puts it this way: "We will always show respect to you and your property." For a landowner who wants the timber cut and milled on site rather than hauled off to a mill elsewhere, and who likes dealing with a family operation that's been doing this in Ashtabula County for over twenty years, this is worth a call.

Travco Lumber Company, LLC is a sawmill and timber buyer based in McArthur, Ohio. They buy logs at four mill locations, including their McArthur yard on Frazee Lane, and they also send out traveling foresters to purchase standing timber. As they put it, their forester "will purchase your standing timber and will take care of harvesting the timber," so you are not left finding a separate logger once you have a buyer. They work in Walnut, White Oak, Hickory, Red Oak, and Hard Maple, buying both veneer logs and saw logs, with their own wood spec sheets setting out what grade a log needs to be for veneer versus lumber production. Their current forester for standing timber purchases is Brandon Byers. Besides the McArthur mill, they name Waverly, Bainbridge, and Peebles, Ohio as locations, and they are shown serving Vinton County. The company's roots go back to 1984, when George Bach Jr. founded East Ohio Lumber after growing up in his father's sawmill business. George acquired Travco Lumber Company in 2013. This fits a landowner with good hardwood timber, especially Walnut or oak, who wants one phone call to cover both the standing timber sale and the harvest itself.

Ohio Foresters LLC is a consulting forestry and timber buying business based in Logan, Ohio, serving Hocking County. They work on timber sales and forest management in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. The team brings "over 72 years of combined forestry experience" to timber sales and forest management. Services include timber inventory, timber appraisals, timber marketing, forest management plans, wildlife management, timber trespass investigation, tract mapping, boundary marking, reforestation, and timber stand improvement. They handle black walnut, red oak, white oak, hard (sugar) maple, soft (red) maple, yellow (tulip) poplar, black cherry, and hickory. For a sale, they use a sealed bid process: a forester shows your timber to a number of companies, each submits a bid by a closing date, and the forester reviews the bids with you. This can take a few weeks to a few months. They also note that "unlike the sawmills or logging companies, we work for you," and a forester will visit the property during logging to check the company is meeting the contract. This suits a landowner in Hocking County who wants a forester to run the whole sale process and stay involved once the logging starts, rather than just getting an appraisal and walking away. From ohioforesters.com, read 8 October 2026.

M&H Forestry & Land INC is a buyer of standing timber, based in Quaker City, Ohio. They also do logging work themselves. The business is co-owned by two brothers in law, Marion Mast and Wes Hershberger, a small family operation that's been running since 2008. They send out timber crews of three or four men to do the cutting, and between the crews there's over 30 years combined experience in the work. Marion himself was a timber cutter before this and has "over 30 years experience in the industry." Their main base is in Quaker City, in East Central Ohio, and they call that their "primary service area," working within about 100 miles of there. That stretches into southern Ohio, and they've also worked in parts of northern West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Guernsey County is named as one they serve. There's no stated minimum acreage for a job here, so this one is hard to pin down by size alone. If you want a buyer who also runs their own cutting crews rather than farming the work out, and you like dealing with a smaller, family run outfit that's been at it since 2008, M&H Forestry & Land is worth a call.

NWH buys logs and standing timber, and also does the logging work itself. The company is headquartered in Dallas, and was "established in 1967." They buy a set list of hardwoods: Alder, Ash, Basswood, Cherry, Chestnut Oak, Hard Maple, Hickory, Pacific Coast Maple, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, White Oak, and Yellow Birch. The areas they name for buying include Oregon, Washington, Northern California, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, with Preston County, WV broken out by name, including Kingwood, Terra Alta, Bruceton Mills, Masontown, Tunnelton, Rowlesburg, Reedsville, Albright, Newburg, Brandonville, and Aurora. Their process runs in four steps: consulting and evaluation, a detailed estimate, an agreement with payment terms, and then the harvest itself. They describe this last step as handling it "with respect for your land," and compliance with state Best Management Practices for the harvest. They state a minimum of 10 acres to harvest, in their own words: "We work closely with landowners who have a minimum of 10 acres to harvest to evaluate your timber and understand your land's unique needs." This fits a landowner with at least 10 acres of one of their listed hardwood species, in or near the states and counties they name, who wants one company to buy the timber and also run the logging.

Almendinger Sawmill is a family sawmill in Johnstown, Ohio. They buy standing timber, log it themselves, and mill it, so the work stays with one outfit from the woods to the lumber pile. They serve Licking County. They work in hardwoods, with a history in walnut going back to when Joe Almendinger started the mill on his farm southeast of Johnstown in 1974. The family's sawmilling and logging in Ohio goes back further still, to 1917. If you call them, they'll timber cruise your property and give you a valuation before anything gets cut. They selectively harvest rather than clear-cutting, and they say "we do business in an ethical manner, working with landowners to harvest timber through selective cutting." They also say their process leaves no waste, with all harvested logs going into timber byproducts. Beyond the standing timber side, they mill kiln dried and green lumber, and sell mulch, bark, and sawdust bedding. They want "10 acres or more of mature woods" before they'll take on a timber sale, so if your woodlot is smaller than that, this isn't the match. This fits a landowner in Licking County with a decent-sized stand of mature hardwoods, especially walnut, who wants one business to cruise, buy, and log the timber rather than juggling a forester and a logger separately.

Wagner Farms & Sawmill is a family-owned sawmill and timber-buying business in Leipsic, Ohio, running since 1942. They log and mill native hardwoods, and they buy standing timber across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Putnam County is named as an area they serve. If you're thinking about selling timber, their process starts with a forester who will come out and meet you at the timber's location to look things over. The harvesting team handles the cutting, and the company also offers delivery for the lumber, mulch, sawdust, and firewood it produces at the mill. They describe themselves as licensed and insured. On their own pages they talk about "sustainable forestry practices" and say they take a "personalized approach to every customer." They also offer a free quote if you want to find out what your timber might be worth before committing to anything. This fits a landowner in or near Putnam County, Ohio, who wants a long-running, family-run outfit that both buys the standing timber and runs it through their own mill, rather than someone who just arranges a sale and steps back.

Fresno Forestry is a logging company based in Fresno, Ohio, buying and harvesting standing timber for landowners. It is a three-generation family-owned business, now run by Eddie Raber with his sons working alongside him day to day. The work centers on White Pine and Hardwood timber. Services include timber appraisal, selective harvesting, and forest management. The process is simple: they appraise your timber and may then pursue harvesting it. They pay cash for wood they procure and say they are "transparent and fair in all our transactions." They also buy wooded land outright, not just standing timber. They serve landowners in or near Ohio, and are named as serving Coshocton County specifically. Fresno Forestry holds Ohio Forestry Association Certified Master Logging Company status. Their stated aim is to "minimize our impact in the woods during harvest while maximizing the future value of your timber stand," so the land keeps producing after they leave. This fits a landowner in or near Ohio with White Pine or Hardwood on the property who wants a family-run outfit that will appraise first and talk price in cash, rather than a large outside crew moving through once and gone.

DeNoon Lumber Co, also written DeNoon Lumber, is a timber buyer and sawmill business in Bergholz, Ohio. They buy standing timber and logs, run their own logging crews, and mill the wood themselves, working in Jefferson County. They take on red oak, white oak, cherry, poplar, ash, hard and soft maple, red and grey elm, hickory, and walnut. A sale starts with a free estimate of what your standing timber is worth. They say they "pay all money in advance at contract signing," and property lines are established before any cutting starts. Their crews do selective cutting rather than clearing a stand, and they state their loggers are state certified. They don't give a minimum acreage in acres, but they offer a rule of thumb for whether a stand is worth a look: if you can't reach around a tree and touch your fingers, or if the timber runs 16 inches or more at chest height, it's probably worth getting an estimate. DeNoon has been in this trade a long time, tracing back to "a small family operation 50 years ago" that grew into a hardwood producer shipping product out of Appalachian hardwood country. Beyond buying and logging, they also run a mill, so the same company that marks and harvests your timber can turn it into lumber on the other end. This fits a landowner in Jefferson County, Ohio with a hardwood stand of decent-sized trees, who wants one outfit to handle the buying, the cutting, and the payment terms up front.

Clum-Daisher Forestry Consultants is a forestry consulting and timber buying business in Canton, Ohio. The company goes back to 1997, when it started as Clum Forestry Consultants. In January 2020, Randy and Koral Clum sold it to longtime employee Keith Daisher, who runs it now as Clum-Daisher Forestry. They handle timber sales from start to finish: picking which trees to sell, marking them with paint, writing up a bid prospectus with board footage and diameters, soliciting bids, signing the contract with the high bidder, and staying involved while the logging happens, including cleanup and water bars when the job is done. Beyond timber sales they do forest management planning, timber stand improvement, CAUV and OFTL tax reduction plans, EQIP and CRP project help, timber appraisals, tree farm inspections, invasive species control, wildlife and pollinator habitat work, trail building, and day-to-day maintenance with their Ventrac tractor. Their foresters belong to the Association of Consulting Foresters, the Society of American Foresters, the Ohio Forestry Association, and the East Central Ohio Forestry Association, and they're certified Tree Farm Inspectors through the American Tree Farm System. They list Stark County among the counties they serve, alongside Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Medina, Portage, Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne, and describe their service area as Northeast, Central, and Southeast Ohio. On timber sales they say plainly that "the best price may not be the best deal," and that they're there to "represent and protect your interests" through a process most landowners only go through once or twice in a lifetime. That makes this a fit for someone who wants a forester walking the whole sale with them, not just a buyer making an offer. From managemyforest.com, read 8 October 2026.

AJ Logging is a timber buyer and forestry outfit based in Holmesville, Ohio, serving landowners across the state, including Morrow County. They've been at it for over 20 years, working as timber buyers, forestry consultants, and loggers. The work covers selective cutting, Timber Stand Improvement, woodland evaluations, forest management planning, and tree removal. They buy both "high-quality furniture-grade timber" and lower-grade species, with oak, maple, and other hardwoods coming up often. A sale or job runs in three steps: they walk the property for an on-site woodland evaluation, put together a management plan showing what to cut and what to protect, then do the selective cutting or TSI itself. They also work with hunting properties, shaping woods for trails, food plots, and deer habitat. They say they are fully insured and will provide documentation on request. They typically want 10 acres or more of wooded land before a forestry evaluation makes sense, though they say smaller parcels with high-quality timber may still be considered. They serve cities across Ohio including Marietta, Mansfield, Zanesville, Medina, Cuyahoga Falls, North Royalton, Wooster, Millersburg, Canton, and New Philadelphia. This fits a landowner with a decent-sized wooded tract, at least 10 acres, who wants someone to walk the property, lay out a plan, and handle the cutting rather than just come in for a one-off tree job.

Price Wood Products is a standing timber buyer based in Loveland, Ohio. They run a mill alongside the buying side, so the same outfit that walks your woods can also turn logs into rough-cut green lumber and custom order lumber cut to specification, including large timber and mantel pieces. They take walnut, white oak, hard maple, red oak, hickory, ash, red elm, and sassafras, and they say "we are buying standing timber" plainly on their own page. They also do export logging, shipping a range of hardwood species according to a project's needs, and they keep some stock on-site as well. They cover the Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia area, and in the directory they're tied to Clermont County. There's no stated minimum acreage. The business describes itself as having over 40 years in the business, with the line "we're recognized as one of the midwestern regions top suppliers for quality rough sawn lumber products." This one fits a landowner who wants a single contact for both the timber sale and what happens to the wood afterward, especially if the property carries a mix of good hardwood species like walnut or oak.

Jeff Miller owns the place. On the timber side, they work with hardwood. Besides timber, they say they're also interested in buying land parcels outright for their own development.

They describe themselves as "not a clear-cut company" and say they try to leave your woods looking close to how it was before they came through. Their crews are insured, and they offer a "free, no obligation quote" if you want to find out what your timber might bring before committing to anything.

They buy standing timber, offer custom drying of hardwood lumber, and buy and sell veneer logs. They look for White Oak, Walnut, Hard Maple, Hickory, and other hardwood species. A sale starts with one of their timber buyers meeting you on your land to look it over and talk through what you want for it. They come back to mark, scale, grade, and price the trees, and once you're satisfied and the contract is signed, a crew moves in to harvest. When the work is finished, the crew reclaims the site, "seeded in, back bladed, leveled," with roads cleared at your request. Based in Holmes County, Trico Enterprises serves all of Ohio and has expanded into a few bordering states. They say the company is fully insured, and that their logging crews are insured as well.

GTL Lumber is based in Ironton, Ohio, and works as a sawmill, timber buyer, and logger all in one. It's also known as Graf Timber, the name that came out of a partnership between GTL Lumber and Graf & Thomas Lumber in 2016. The company serves Lawrence County and sits in the Appalachian region, which it calls "home to the world's best quality logs, lumber, and flooring."

They buy North American hardwood logs regularly and handle most North American species, plus European white oak. They say they stick to the "select cut harvest method, no clear cuts," which matters if you want your woods to still look like woods when the trucks leave. They also say they're family owned and operated, and they list membership in several industry groups: KFIA, NHLA, IHLA, NWFA, AHEC, WPMA, and ALC. They don't say anywhere how small a tract they'll look at, so if you've got a modest patch of hardwood in Lawrence County, it may be worth a call to ask rather than guess. This fits a landowner in Lawrence County, Ohio, who wants one business to buy the logs, do the cutting, and turn it into lumber, rather than juggling three separate people for the job.
