C & S Sawmill is a family owned and operated sawmill in Baker City, Oregon. They buy logs and turn them into wood products for Baker City and the surrounding communities, working in Baker County. If you've got timber down, this is the kind of outfit that will look at it log by log rather than running a standing-timber sale. They buy small quantities of logs to supply their own mill, in Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Western Hemlock, Spruce, Juniper, and Tamarack. When you call, they'll ask where the logs came from, how long they've been cut, whether they were dead before felling, and for pictures if you have them. They prefer "logs that roll," meaning straight round logs, in lengths of 8 to 20 feet with a minimum trim of 6 inches, and a top size greater than 12 inches. Crooked or sweepy logs, or ones with metal in or around them, are liked a lot less but may still be taken. Beyond log buying, they mill siding, posts, fence material, beams, and blocking, and offer custom sizing, wood shavings, and air drying. They don't kiln dry, but their air-dried lumber runs around 12 percent moisture in summer and 15 percent in winter, depending on species and thickness. This fits a landowner near Baker City with a modest amount of logs on hand, maybe from a single tree or a small cleanup, who wants custom lumber or fence material rather than a full timber sale.

Century Forest Management | Oregon Logging Company is a logging company based in Monroe, Oregon, working with private landowners across Western Oregon. They take on commercial thinning, forest management, land and timber acquisition, land clearing, timber harvesting, and timber valuation, cruising, and appraisal. The company has been operating since 2017. A job with them starts with a free on-site consultation, and they say there are "no upfront costs" to get going. From there they handle the paperwork, the notifications, the actual cutting, piling of brush, and getting the ground ready for replanting. They also track every load that leaves your property so you get a summary of volume, destinations, and yields when it's done. They work in Benton, Lane, Douglas, Linn, Lincoln, Marion, and Polk counties. No stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job described is a 50 acre stand that was thinned. This fits a landowner with a sizeable property, likely 50 acres or more, who wants the whole process handled start to finish, including the paperwork and the cleanup, and who wants to know exactly where their logs end up and what they sold for.

Sky-Em Timber is a logging contractor in Creswell, Oregon. They've been working the Pacific Northwest since 2011, handling the actual harvest work on your land rather than just brokering it. Their services cover thinning, clear cutting, right-of-way and roadbuilding, lot clearing, merchandising, confined space logging, salvage logging, timberfalling, consulting, and fuels mitigation. They describe themselves as "solutions focused, versatile management professionals" with a background across Pacific Northwest forests, and they name confined space logging and salvage logging as specialties. They hold a California LTO license, number A11702. They serve Lane County. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job mentioned is logging part of a property in Creswell starting in 2017, with the owner bringing them back the following year to finish the rest. One landowner described how the work actually ran: "Prior to starting Travis talked with me about his plan, answered my questions, obtained all permits and arranged with the mills to get the best profit for my logs." That gives a sense of the process, a walkthrough up front, permits handled, and updates while the cutting is underway. This fits a landowner in or near Lane County who wants a contractor comfortable with tight or tricky sites, including land close to structures, and who wants to be walked through the plan before any trees come down.

Timber Tomorrow is based in Sweet Home, Oregon, and buys timber and timberland, with forestry consulting and independent logging work alongside that. It describes itself as a forest management service company that brings value to private woodland owners. The work on offer includes purchasing timber and timberland, forest management and timber marketing, timber harvesting and estate planning, timber cruising and appraisals, forest road construction, and land clearing and reforestation. Coverage runs across western Oregon and southwest Washington, and it serves Linn County. Sandy Gordon founded Timber Tomorrow in 1981, so the business has been at this work since then. It holds accreditation as an Oregon Professional Logging Company, and it belongs to the Association of Oregon Loggers, the Oregon Small Woodland Association, the Council on Forestry Engineering, and the Oregon Forest Industrial Council. On its approach, Timber Tomorrow points to "efficient and environmentally friendly land management" and says its "state-of-the-art equipment means lower impact on the natural landscape." This fits a landowner who wants one outfit that can buy the timber, run the logging, and also handle the forest road work or land clearing that comes with it, rather than lining up separate contractors for each piece.

NWTL Inc. is a logging contractor based in Sandy, Oregon. They describe themselves as "a full service logging contractor offering all phases of commercial harvest operations offered from ground-based logging to cable logging," which covers hand felling, tractor and shovel logging, and cable logging. Beyond cutting timber, they handle the whole chain: timber management plans, the harvest itself, and brokering the logs afterward. On brokering, they say they work with "relationships with smaller specialty markets such as small custom mills, log home builders, and commercial firewood suppliers," in addition to the bigger export, domestic, and pulp markets. They also do land clearing for people converting forest to farmland or a home site, charging by the acre, hour, or project, and they handle stump removal and slash disposal. Thinning and clear cutting jobs are billed on a percentage basis or by the MBF. For forest management, they work through pre-commercial thinning, multi-stage thinnings, clear cutting, and reforestation. There's no stated minimum acreage, but they say they take on "small stands of timber to large tracts," so size alone isn't a barrier. Their logging and timber work isn't tied to a single county, though their residential tree service is offered specifically to east Clackamas County. They're licensed, bonded, and insured under CCB# 192130, and they offer free timber evaluations and estimates before a job starts. This one suits a landowner who wants a single contractor to manage the standing timber, cut it, and find a buyer for the logs, rather than hiring separate people for each step. From nwtlinc.com, read 4 October 2026.
Wayne Stone Logging Inc is a family business run by Wayne Stone, working out of Sandy, Oregon. It's both a logging contractor and a timber buyer, and it covers Clackamas County. The crew runs two yarder sides and one mechanized side year round, with a focus on "long span cable yarding" and what the business describes as a "wide range of equipment to tackle any type of job and terrain." They also build and maintain their own logging roads, keep two full time mechanics on staff to keep equipment running, and move wood with nine log trucks and two lowboys under a related trucking company. Some hand-falling is subcontracted out, with a select few hand cutters employed directly. If you're thinking about selling standing timber or having your land logged, the process starts with a phone call to talk through what you want. Wayne Stone Logging says it's "always in the market to purchase land with timber on it," whether you want to sell the property outright or just have it logged. The business states it has closed numerous transactions where everyone involved came away satisfied. Wayne Stone has over 30 years of experience working in the woods. This one suits a Clackamas County landowner who wants a single outfit that can handle the whole job, cutting, road work, and hauling, without bringing in outside contractors for most of it. From waynestonelogging.com, read 4 October 2026.
Ben Parker Cutting Inc is a logging contractor based in Colton, Oregon. They handle contract logging, timber cruising, timber harvesting, land clearing, road building, and commercial firewood sales, and they also buy timber. They work with maple, alder, Douglas fir, oak, and cherry. They cover Clackamas, Marion, and Washington Counties. They describe their work as "full-service logging solutions for landowners and commercial woodlots," handling everything from timber marketing and final harvests to pre-commercial thinning. They say they are Oregon Professional Logger certified and fully insured. There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job mentioned is a 10 acre timber farm, where the owners had no experience in tree management and Ben Parker Cutting advised them on keeping their trees healthy and when to harvest. This fits a landowner in Clackamas, Marion, or Washington County with a smaller wooded property who wants one contractor for the logging, the land clearing, and even the firewood end of things, and who'd value someone willing to walk a first-time seller through the process. From ben-parker-cutting.com, read 4 October 2026.
Wyeast Timber Services LLC is a logging outfit out of Hood River, Oregon. They buy timber, log it, and also do forestry consulting, working across Oregon, Washington, and California. The business was founded in 2011. The work covers forest management, project planning, harvesting, stand assessment, road building, fuel reduction, reforestation, and wildland fire support. They also run a trucking division for hauling logs to the mill. On a sale, they'll look over your land and timber and then work out a deal, whether that's for standing timber or the timber deed itself. They say they "welcome challenging and technical logging sites along with standard operations," so steep ground or tricky access isn't automatically a dealbreaker. There's no stated minimum acreage. Their listed projects run from log sorting on a county timber sale down to fire cleanup and orchard logging jobs, so smaller or oddly shaped parcels appear to be something they've handled before. This fits a landowner in the Hood River area with a harvest that isn't straightforward, whether that's fire-damaged timber, steep slopes, or a property that needs planning help alongside the actual cutting.

RSG is a sawmill and timber buying business listed in Canby, Oregon. On its own pages it goes by RSG Forest Products, with mills in Kalama, Washington, and in Estacada and Molalla, Oregon, plus an office in Mist, Oregon. The company works across Northwestern Oregon and Southwestern Washington, and in Oregon that reach covers Clackamas County. For a landowner with standing timber, RSG offers contract harvest services that cover the whole job: timber sale administration, hiring the logging and roadbuilding contractor, paying the forest excise tax, handling permits, marketing the logs, and replanting afterward. The species they take are Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, and Hem-fir. On their own pages they say they are "very interested in maintaining a strong private forest base" in the area they work, and that a landowner can count on them to "get the best value for your standing timber." RSG Forest Products started in 1971 in Mist, Oregon, with the purchase and expansion of the Olympic sawmill. It has since grown into a family-owned company with its own manufacturing capacity and shipping arrangements. The harvest side is handled by a Harvest Manager, John Schmit, who has more than 25 years managing logging operations in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. This fits a landowner who wants one company to buy the logs, run the logging crew, and handle the paperwork and replanting from start to finish, rather than lining up separate buyers, loggers, and foresters themselves. From rsgfp.com, read 4 October 2026.
Mt Hood Forest Products LLC is a sawmill in Hood River, Oregon, that also buys timber. It runs on the mill side as well, turning logs into lumber, which tells you where wood from a sale on your land might end up. The company describes itself as "a state of the art producer of high quality green douglas fir 2X4 and 2X6 dimension lumber," so douglas fir is the species they work with. They serve Hood River County, and they buy logs directly as well as milling them, which can matter if you are weighing a standing timber sale against having logs hauled to a buyer. There is no stated minimum acreage or tract size for a job with this business. Nothing is said about credentials, how long the company has been operating, or the steps a sale or logging job follows from start to finish, so if those details matter to you, it is worth asking directly. The office number given is 509 427-4222, and the Hood River address is 4865 Highway 35. This fits a landowner with douglas fir in Hood River County who wants to deal with an outfit that both buys logs and runs its own mill, rather than a broker who hires the work out. From mthoodfp.com, read 4 October 2026.
Hampton Lumber is a sawmill company based in Portland, Oregon, also listed as a timber buyer and forestry consultant. It began in 1942 with a single sawmill in Willamina, Oregon, and has grown into a family of sawmills across the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. The company works with Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, white wood, and spruce, and lists reforestation among its services. Harvest planning on its own lands typically starts two years ahead of cutting, bringing in wildlife biologists, geologists, and other professionals before any trees come down. Hampton Lumber serves Washington County, and its operations are named in Portland, Tillamook, Warrenton, Willamina, Darrington, Morton, Randle, Allendale, Burns Lake, and Fort St. James, with a broader reach across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. It describes itself as a "family-owned company" built around "carbon-friendly wood products" and sustainable forestry, alongside timber procurement work. The company has been in business since 1942. This fits a landowner near Washington County weighing a long-running regional sawmill and forestry consulting operation, rather than a small local logger for a one-time sale. From hamptonlumber.com, read 4 October 2026.
Stimson Lumber Co Inc is a sawmill company based in Portland, Oregon. It runs its own mill and also buys timber and offers forestry consulting, so a landowner can work with one company for standing timber, log sales, or land sales. The mill turns out studs, dimension lumber, specialty grades, timbers, cedar, and hardboard, and it draws much of that wood from its own timberlands. For landowners, the services on offer are forest management and log and land sales. Work is handled through a list of Stimson forestry specialists, and the company also lists land for sale through Land.com. It owns and manages over 600,000 acres of forest land in the Western United States, and serves Washington County. Stimson says it produces "high-quality lumber and hardboard products from environmentally-certified forests," and points to its Sustainable Forestry Initiative commitment as part of that. It was founded in the 1850s, which it says makes it one of the oldest continuously operating integrated wood products companies in the country. This fits a landowner whose timber is more likely to be headed into a large, long-running industrial supply chain than a one-off local logging job, and who wants a single company that can also talk land sales and forest management alongside the timber itself.

Quicksilver Contracting Co is a forest contracting company based in Bend, Oregon, with a processing yard in La Pine. It's been in business since 1988. The company does logging, chipping, thinning, mowing, slash piling, hazardous fuels reduction, reforestation, and forest health restoration stewardship contracts. Work ranges from mechanical harvesting and hand crew labor to road maintenance, understory removal, and streambank restoration. Quicksilver takes on large, multi-year stewardship and restoration contracts, typically running 3 to 10 years, for both public and private land managers. These projects can mean mechanical felling, mastication, piling, and brush mowing, alongside hand crew work like thinning and planting. The company processes harvested timber into sawlogs, clean chips, chip logs, pole materials, and biomass, and also sells wood products like posts, poles, and deck railings. Its harvesting territory covers eastside forests in Northern California, Oregon, and Washington, with Deschutes County named as a county it serves. No stated minimum acreage appears, but the scale of work described points toward large tracts: stewardship contracts have covered "over 40,000 acres" to date. The company describes its approach as "low-impact approaches that make the most of all woody material and leave a more fire-resistant forest behind." This fits a landowner with a sizable, complex forest property needing multi-year restoration or fuels work done at scale, not someone with a small woodlot looking for a single timber sale.

Douglas County Forest Products is an independently owned sawmill near Roseburg, Oregon, in the Umpqua Valley along the I-5 corridor. It buys timber in Douglas County and also runs the mill that turns those logs into lumber. They buy Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Lodgepole Pine, Ponderosa Pine, White Fir, Grand Fir and Noble Fir. For a sale, they offer three paths: a delivered log sale, where you hire the logger and trucking and they mail a purchase order with monthly prices and scale the logs through a third party; a timber deed, where they cruise the timber, a title company checks clear title, and a contract spells out payment, duration, and any replanting or road obligations; or a land and timber sale, where both the land and the standing timber change hands through escrow. Logs are scaled by Mountain Western Log Scaling and Grading Bureau, and payment on delivered logs goes out on the 10th and 25th of the month. The company traces back to 1941, when it started east of Roseburg as Douglas County Lumber Company under Sid Comfort and Maurice Hallmark, before evolving into today's Douglas County Forest Products. They describe themselves as a place "often approached by landowners with unique requests that many large corporate mills are unable to fulfill," and they say "every log that goes through the mill is fully utilized." This fits a Douglas County landowner who wants a mill willing to walk through delivered log, timber deed, or land and timber options directly, rather than just a quick log purchase. From dcfp.com, read 4 October 2026.
Gilchrist Forest Products is a mill in Gilchrist, Oregon. It has a Google Maps business listing in that category. It is also listed as a timber buyer and a consulting forester. A listing here is not an endorsement.
Keller Lumber Co is a sawmill in Roseburg, Oregon, in Douglas County. It has been running since 1952, when Clarence Keller and his son Dan started it on a piece of land in Winchester that already had an old sawmill on it. The family has kept it going ever since, through three more generations. This isn't a mill that buys standing timber off a landowner's back forty. It's set up to cut cedar, specifically Red Cedar, Incense Cedar, Port Orford Cedar, and Alaskan Yellow Cedar, into finished products: cedar fencing, balusters, and specialty clear lumber that ships out across the country. It calls itself "the only cedar-only mill in the state of Oregon." Production moves with the market. In a good year the mill cuts around 20 million board feet, with a high of 26 million, and it keeps finished inventory small so it can shift what it's cutting as demand changes. The company serves Douglas County and is also listed under timber-buyers, so if you have cedar logs to sell, this is a name worth calling, even though the website doesn't walk through how a landowner sale or logging job would run. It's a family operation at heart, now with close to 100 employees, still owned and run by Kellers. This fits a landowner sitting on cedar, particularly Red Cedar or Incense Cedar, who wants a long-running regional mill rather than a service that walks a small woodlot through a full harvest plan. From kellerlumberco.com, read 4 October 2026.

High Mountain Resources is a logging company based in Cottage Grove, Oregon, run by Ken Groat. Ken grew up in the Cottage Grove area and started the business in 1984. It's a registered and fully insured Oregon logging company. The work covers logging, timber management, land clearing, road building, and fire prevention, and they'll help arrange timber cruising, reforestation, and slash disposal too. They handle the cutting, yarding, loading and trucking themselves, and say there is usually no up-front, out-of-pocket expense to the landowner. The harvest method, whether thinning, clear cutting, or going after certain species, gets shaped around what the landowner wants for their ground. On the selling side, they sort and sell logs to multiple buyers rather than just taking the first offer, saying "getting the most for your logs is more than just selling to the highest bidder." They serve Lane County, Douglas County, and the Northern Willamette Valley out to the coast and the Cascades, including Roseburg, Eugene, and Portland. Parcels can run from 5 acres to 500 acres or more, so this isn't a company that only wants the big tracts. This fits a landowner in Western Oregon with a smaller parcel who wants someone geared toward private landowners rather than large-scale industrial accounts, and who wants help with the whole process, not just the cutting. From highmountainlogging.com, read 4 October 2026.

Columbia Forest Products is a hardwood plywood and veneer mill in Klamath Falls, Oregon. It also buys logs. The company started in 1957 and its Klamath Falls plant was where it began its Forest Stewardship Council certification work, achieving FSC forest management certification in 1998. Every one of its plywood and veneer mills now holds FSC Chain-of-Custody Certification. The work here is plywood, veneer, and logs, built from hardwood species including Red Alder, walnut veneer, and maple plywood. Columbia works with private landowners and land management companies to manage forestland to the FSC Forest Management Standard, and it says it "partners with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible forestry" who favor "selective harvesting, regeneration, and long-term forest health." In Klamath County, that forestry relationship runs alongside the mill itself. This is a large manufacturer with plants across the U.S. and Canada, not a single local logger, so a landowner dealing with them is dealing with part of a bigger supply chain built on certification and long-term forest management rather than a one-time cash sale. It suits a landowner who wants their timber handled inside a chain-of-custody system backed by FSC paperwork, and who is comfortable working with a company that thinks in terms of regeneration and decades, not just the next truckload. From columbiaforestproducts.com, read 4 October 2026.
Freres Engineered Wood is a sawmill and timber buyer in Lyons, Oregon. They look to buy standing timber and timberland, mostly Douglas Fir and Whitewood, and they also run their own logging and milling operations. They want timber that's 40 years old or more, with a max butt size of 42 inches down to a 5 inch scale diameter. If you have a stand like that, here's how it works: you file a Notification of Operation with the Oregon Department of Forestry, which has to go in at least 15 days before any harvesting starts. From there you line up a local logger to handle the cutting, and Freres gives you a delivered log price for your timber. They serve Linn County and work across Oregon more broadly. The company got going in 1922, "started by one man and a dream," and has grown into a full mill operation that makes plywood, veneer, and engineered wood products. They hold certification from the American Tree Farm System, and they say they run a "zero waste business, using 100% of every log that hits our yard." They also note they manage 17,000 acres of their own timberland on a sustained yield basis and replant hundreds of thousands of trees a year. This fits a landowner with mature Douglas Fir or Whitewood timber ready to cut, who wants to sell standing timber to a mill buyer rather than find a broker, and who doesn't mind handling the state paperwork and lining up their own logger as part of the sale. From frereswood.com, read 4 October 2026.

Giustina Land & Timber Co is a timber buyer and forestry consultant in Eugene, Oregon, working in Lane County. It's a 4th generation, family-owned forest management company that runs its own forests rather than buying from other landowners' individual parcels. Their work covers the full cycle: reforestation starting at their own seed orchard, growing seedlings through local nurseries, planting, and commercial thinning as stands mature, sending thinned trees to local mills before eventual harvest and replanting. Their foresters "allocate different types of trees to different harvest units" to meet Oregon's reforestation rules. They are certified through the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) and participate in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). No tree species or minimum acreage are named for outside landowners. Their named areas of operation are Oregon and Lane County. This looks like a fit for someone wanting to understand how a long-established Oregon timber operation manages land through its own cycle of planting, thinning, and harvest, rather than someone looking for a quick quote on a single small parcel. From giustinalandandtimber.com, read 4 October 2026.
NWH buys logs and standing timber, with a local contact out of Eugene, Oregon, covering Lane County. They're a sawmill operation as well as a buyer, so the logs they purchase feed straight into their own hardwood lumber business. They want "your logs & standing timber," working in both Alder and Pacific Coast Maple out west, along with Ash, Basswood, Cherry, Chestnut Oak, Hard Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, White Oak, and Yellow Birch across their wider footprint. The process runs in four steps: they consult and evaluate your timber, give you a detailed estimate, put together an agreement with payment terms, and then harvest. They say the harvest will follow your state's Best Management Practices. They ask for a minimum of 10 acres to harvest, stating it plainly: "a minimum of 10 acres to harvest to evaluate your timber." NWH has been in business since 1967. This fits a landowner in Lane County with a decent-sized stand of hardwood, maybe mixed Alder or oak, who wants a buyer tied to an actual mill rather than a broker, and who meets that 10-acre mark going in. From nwh.com, read 4 October 2026.
Swanson Brothers Lumber Co is a sawmill in Noti, Oregon, in Lane County. They cut high-grade, long-length Douglas Fir, including Free of Heart Center timbers, flat and vertical grain clears, long dimension lumber, custom exposed beams, rough dimension, and crossarms. They can produce timbers up to 24 inches by 24 inches by 32 feet. They also buy timber, with a log buyer on staff alongside their timber manager and wood product sales people. The company has been at this a long time. It began as Swanson & May Lumber Company in January, 1937, and has stayed in the same family and local ownership lines since, through several changes in name and structure over the decades. They work with foresters who practice sustainable harvests, and they say they aim for nothing to go to waste off a log, with bark, sawdust, shavings, and chips all sold onward rather than dumped. There's no stated minimum acreage and no acreage is implied by any job example given. For a landowner thinking about a sale, their own words sum up what they promise on the production side: "on grade, on time, every time." This is a mill built around sawing, not a landowner-facing logging outfit with marked service boundaries, so it will suit someone who already knows they have good Douglas Fir and wants to talk to the people who will actually cut it, or who wants to reach a buyer who also mills, rather than someone looking for a walk-the-woods consultation on a small parcel.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers are there in Oregon?
41 are listed on TimberClear, sourced from the Oregon forestry register, covering 15 counties between them.
How do I choose between them?
Start local and get more than one. A business based in your county knows the mills and the ground; one registered for all one hundred counties may be three hours away. Every listing here shows how far its office is from the county you are looking at, so "will travel" is never mistaken for "is local". TimberClear has not vetted, verified or endorsed anybody on this site.
