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.

custom-milled lumberfull dimension lumbercustom milled timbersair dryingkiln drying

Levi’s Sawmill is a sawmill in La Pine, Oregon. They offer "sustainably harvested and locally sourced custom-milled lumber," working with logs from the region rather than buying standing timber off your land outright. They mill Ponderosa Pine, Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, and Incense Cedar, and they generally keep Ponderosa Pine and Incense Cedar in stock while milling Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar to order. Their work includes custom-milled lumber, full dimension lumber, and custom milled timbers, cut from select logs. Air drying is often part of the price, and kiln drying can be added on-site for an extra fee. Some of their inventory comes from "reclaimed forest fire inventory," salvage logging after wildfires in the area. They say they'll work with a load as small as ten pieces of wood or as large as a full semi truck shipped out of state, and they quote flexible sales options and competitive pricing. For cost, they point people to a pricing calculator rather than listing set prices. They serve Deschutes County and describe their log supply as coming from logging operations "around the region." They are open to the public at their La Pine location and also take appointments. This fits a landowner less interested in selling standing timber for stumpage, and more interested in having logs custom milled into lumber for a building project, who wants a say in species and dimensions and can work directly with the mill on the specifics.

7 businesses are listed for Deschutes County: 1 consulting forester and 6 buyers, loggers and mills. 2 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Deschutes 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 Deschutes 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.
