Alben Sawmill LLC is a small family sawmill in Portersville, Pennsylvania. They saw logs into lumber, run it through their kiln, plane it, and size it to order. They work in oak, maple, cherry, walnut, and hickory, and they also make, install, and finish hardwood flooring. This isn't a business built around standing timber sales off your land in the usual sense. They buy logs directly, and they say "we purchase small quantities of custom cut hardwoods directly from nearby logging companies." Their lumber comes from within 30 miles of the sawmill, and they sell on to local woodworkers, cabinet makers, flooring companies, and furniture builders. They serve Butler County. They've been a family business since 1982, so this is a long-running operation, not a new outfit. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no minimum job size shown either, since they describe themselves as working in "small quantities" of custom cut hardwood. This one fits a landowner who has a handful of good hardwood logs, maybe from a single tree or a small lot, and wants them milled into lumber or flooring rather than selling a whole stand of standing timber.

They describe themselves plainly as "Kiln dried lumber in Cabot PA," and they're "Open in evenings and weekends," though they ask that you call ahead before visiting. Lumber is only available on location, not sold online. They're listed serving Butler County. This fits a landowner who already has logs milled or wants lumber custom sawn, dried, and finished, rather than someone just starting out trying to sell standing timber off their acres.

Questions landowners ask
How many timber buyers and foresters serve Butler County?
6 businesses are listed for Butler County: 1 consulting forester and 5 buyers, loggers and mills. 5 of them have offices in the county.
How much is my timber worth in Butler 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 Butler 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 Butler County?

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.
