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.

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.

Kaster's Kustom Cutting is a sawmill in Mulino, Oregon, about 30 miles southeast of Portland, serving Clackamas County. This isn't a timber-buying or logging outfit. It's a mill: they take logs and turn them into lumber, slabs, siding, and beams. They cut Black Walnut, Oak, Maple, Redwood, Douglas Fir, and Western red cedar, and also work with reclaimed beams pulled from old buildings. Their specialty is custom bandsaw milling and slab milling for logs up to 72 inches wide. Hardwood slabs are air dried for two or more years, then kiln dried to finish moisture content and heat treated to kill bugs. They also do beam and timber planing, slab flattening, and sanding on their own equipment, plus bevel lap siding, board and batt siding, beam wrap, decking, and other dimensional lumber. They say they "can produce about any wood product you may want." The business has been running for over 25 years and has held FSC certification for over 15 of those years, so they can supply certified sustainable lumber on request. This fits a landowner who already has logs down or standing timber cut and wants it milled into slabs, beams, or siding, rather than someone looking for a buyer to purchase standing timber outright.

Oregon Lumber Works is a sawmill in Molalla, Oregon. They mill logs into slabs, rounds, planks, and beams, and they ship the finished wood out themselves. Their mill handles logs up to 72 inches wide and about 20 feet long. They've cut a wide range of species: American sycamore, black walnut, deodar cedar, incense cedar, western red cedar, Douglas fir, American elm, juniper, big leaf maple, Oregon white oak, ponderosa pine, coastal redwood, giant sequoia, Russian olive, and Sitka spruce. Slabbing work runs "$120 per hour for slabbing with a 2 hour minimum," and they warn that any metal or other foreign objects left in a log will cost you in blade repair. They serve Clackamas County for the milling itself, and "we ship to all of the lower 48 states" once the slabs are cut. There's no acreage minimum stated, and nothing on their site points to a smallest job they've turned away or taken on, so landowners with just a few trees or a single prized log should feel free to ask. This fits a landowner who has a particular tree or two worth milling into slabs, mantels, or beams, rather than someone selling a whole stand of standing timber.

Osprey Custom Sawing is a portable sawmill business in Estacada, Oregon. They turn your logs into lumber on your own property, using a thin kerf Wood-Mizer band saw brought to the site. This isn't a timber sale operation, it's custom milling: you own the logs and you get the boards. They cut cedar, fir, walnut, maple, Port Orford cedar, Douglas fir and various hardwoods into beams, decking, fencing, siding, framing materials, furniture, trim, stairs, table tops, raised beds, planters and shelving. The sawyer has eighteen years of experience sawing logs and fifteen years as a carpenter. The process is simple: "you bring the logs to me, the saw no longer travels." There's no stated minimum acreage, but the smallest job on record was sawing two Port Orford Cedar trees for a couple outside Estacada who wanted lumber for a family tree house. So a single tree or two is plenty to work with. They describe their approach as "sustainable, custom wood cutting," taking on everything from big jobs for homeowners and contractors down to a single tree. They're based in Clackamas County and serve Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties, with travel within Oregon and southwest Washington. This fits a landowner with just a tree or two who wants their own wood turned into something useful, like deck boards, trim, or a tree house, rather than someone looking to sell standing timber.

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.

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.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Clackamas County?
15 businesses are listed for Clackamas County: 1 consulting forester and 14 buyers, loggers and mills. 2 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Clackamas 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Clackamas 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.
Do I need a forestry consultant? →What is timber worth in Clackamas County?

Oregon's latest published stumpage figures (Oregon Department of Forestry timber sale results, 2026 sales) put douglas-fir at $400–$700 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.
