Orchard Wood Products, Inc. is a sawmill and millwork shop in Baker City, Oregon, right off Interstate 84. They've been in business since 1957, family owned and operated, with "over 50 years of experience in the wood products industry." This isn't a company that comes out and buys standing timber off your land. They run a 30,000 square foot facility and specialize in custom millwork, moulding, and small component parts, working in pine, fir, hardwood, poplar, and redwood. Their wood products are SFI and FSC certified, and they supply both large and small companies, with customers ranging "from California to Maine." Locally, they're found in Baker County. There's no stated minimum acreage, and nothing here describes a process for a landowner timber sale. This is a manufacturing operation that turns wood into finished products, not an outfit that walks your woodlot or handles a stumpage sale. This fits a landowner who already has logs or lumber to move, or who is curious about where milled wood ends up, rather than someone at the start of deciding whether to sell standing timber.

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.

How much is my timber worth in Baker 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 Baker 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.
