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.

Frontier Woodland Services LLC | Forestry & Timber Harvesting is a forestry and timber business out of Alliance, Ohio. It was started in 2016 to serve northeastern Ohio, and it works forestry consulting and timber buying both, with Certified Foresters on staff. The work covers forest management plans, timber sales, timber inventory and appraisal, timber theft cases, woodland consultation, and woods improvement. They mention tax programs like CAUV/OFTL and EQIP plans, and note the Certified Ohio Tree Farm program too. Their specialties run from improvement thinning on a young woods to a full regeneration harvest when it is time to start the forest over. A timber sale starts with a walk through your woods and a talk about why you are selling and what you want. From there they mark and tally the trees, send bid packets out to loggers and mills, let you pick from sealed bids, and write the contract. They stay on through the harvest too, checking that the right trees come down, damage stays low, and streams and the property get protected and reclaimed. As they put it, "every timber harvest starts with a consultation." For the inventory and appraisal side they say "no job is too large." Frontier Woodland Services serves Stark County, Ohio, and is based in Columbiana County. This fits a landowner in northeastern Ohio who wants a forester involved start to finish, from marking the right trees to standing in the woods while the loggers work.

Canton, OH
post manufacturing

Stark Forest Products is a sawmill and lumber supplier in Canton, Ohio, serving Stark County. In their own words, they are "Your Engineered Building products and Lumber supplier." Rather than buying standing timber or sending a crew out to log a woodlot, they manufacture and supply engineered wood: I joists, LVL, rim board, and component lumber. They also do post manufacturing, with "Engineered Partially Treated Posts for pole barns and Ag buildings," which could matter if you're putting up a barn or farm building rather than selling timber off your land. The business has been around since 1985, when it built the first "Machine Stress Rating" lumber plant in the Midwestern United States, and later worked with the American Plywood Association to expand into I joist and post manufacturing. This is a mill and building-products operation, not an outfit that walks your woods, marks trees, or cuts you a check for standing timber. A landowner looking for someone to buy and harvest their timber would want to look elsewhere, but someone in the Canton area planning a pole barn or ag building, and needing lumber or treated posts, is the kind of person this business fits.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Stark County?

5 businesses are listed for Stark County: 2 consulting foresters and 3 buyers, loggers and mills. 4 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Stark 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 Stark 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 Stark County?

No price series is published for Stark County on its own. Ohio's latest published stumpage figures (Ohio State University Extension, with the Ohio Division of Forestry, March–May 2026) put white oak at $700–$1,200 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.
