Dan Miller Logging is a sawmill and logging business based in Polk, Pennsylvania, working Venango County and the areas around it. They started out in 1945 as MPR Lumber, passed down through the family to what is now Dan Miller Logging. Their main work is custom sawing, turning out framing and sheeting lumber up to 16 feet long, along with wood beams, fireplace mantels, and other specialty timber products. They cut hemlock and pine lumber, and they buy hemlock and hardwood timber and logs. Beyond the sawmill side, they also handle logging, tree removal, and timber consulting for landowners working out what to do with their woods. There's no set minimum acreage spelled out, but they say plainly that they "take pride in working with small tracts of timber for landowners and builders," so this isn't a business that needs a big parcel to take you on. This fits a landowner with a smaller wooded property in or near Venango County who wants lumber cut to their own specs, or who has hemlock or hardwood to sell and wants someone who will deal in modest quantities rather than only large harvests.

kiln-dried hardwood lumbercustom pallets

Lipinski Logging & Lumber is a family-owned sawmill in Kennerdell, Pennsylvania. They buy timber, log it, and run their own mill, working with landowners, contractors, and woodworkers. They serve Venango County and describe themselves as part of Northwestern Pennsylvania, where the family has run the sawmill for generations. When they take on a harvest, they plan it with professional foresters first, matching the cut to the conditions and goals of the property rather than just pulling logs. Once the timber comes in, they turn it into both green and kiln-dried hardwood lumber, and they also build custom pallets sized and built to a customer's specifications. So the work spans the whole chain: buying standing timber, logging it, and milling it into usable lumber or pallets. Their own words lean on plain dealing rather than scale: they talk about "treating every customer like a neighbor" and backing their work with "a handshake that still means something." That's the tone throughout, a smaller family operation rather than a large outfit, built on the idea that honest guidance matters as much as the lumber itself. This fits a landowner in or near Venango County who wants one business to handle the timber from the stump to the sawmill, and who values a straightforward, neighbor-to-neighbor way of doing business over a big commercial setup.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Venango County?

12 businesses are listed for Venango County: 2 consulting foresters and 10 buyers, loggers and mills. 8 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Venango 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 Venango 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.

What is timber worth in Venango County?

No price series is published for Venango County on its own. Pennsylvania's latest published stumpage figures (Penn State Extension, Q1 2026) put black cherry at $255–$848 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.
