Matson Lumber Company
About Matson Lumber Company
Matson Lumber Company is a sawmill and timber buyer in Brookville, Pennsylvania. The family has been in the hardwood business since 1804, when John Matson built the first sawmill, and the company has supplied domestic and export hardwood buyers for close to 70 years. Their main work is milling and selling hardwood lumber and logs, not buying standing timber from landowners directly. They run one facility, in Corsica, PA, producing kiln-dried hardwood in species like Red Oak, White Oak, Cherry, Soft Maple, Hard Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Walnut, Basswood, Beech, Birch, and Yellow Birch. Logs come from company-managed timberlands in central Pennsylvania and from a small group of regional suppliers, with wood sourced from "Appalachian forests of Pennsylvania and the surrounding region." For Jefferson County, Matson is listed as a buyer of timber. No acreage minimum is given for landowner sales, and Matson's own pages describe their products as lumber, logs, and smaller "Less than Trailer Load" orders for cabinet shops, millwork shops, and custom woodworkers, rather than a landowner timber-sale process. This fits a landowner near Jefferson County who wants to understand where a long-running Pennsylvania hardwood mill sources its logs, more than someone looking for a company that walks a woodlot and makes a direct offer on standing timber.
