Dufur, IL
sawing hardwood lumbersequenced vertical grain lumberwide bookmatched sets

Pine Creek Wood Company is a family owned sawmill in Dufur, Oregon, serving Wasco County. They have been sawing hardwood lumber since 1986, starting with Honduras Rosewood logs for marimba bars and working with everything from African Blackwood to Ziricote over the years. These days they focus on northwest hardwoods, mainly Figured Maple and Claro Walnut, though they still saw some tropical woods for other companies too. This isn't a high-volume operation. They saw "the old fashioned way obeying the heart line rule" rather than running logs through a computer to optimize for volume. Boards from each log are kept together for matching color and grain, and they aim for "sequenced vertical grain lumber, and as many wide bookmatched sets as possible." If you've got logs with real figure or color, this is the kind of mill that will treat them as individual pieces rather than commodity lumber. There's no stated minimum tract size, but their work with species like Claro Walnut and Figured Maple suggests they're set up for prized logs rather than bulk timber sales. This fits a landowner with a handful of standout hardwood trees, maybe an old walnut or a figured maple, who wants them sawn with care rather than sold off as a load of mixed logs.

How much is my timber worth in Wasco 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 Wasco 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.
