About Douglas County Forest Products

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.
