Carter Manufacturing Company, Inc. is a mill at 346 S Church St in Lake City, South Carolina. It calls itself "Family Owned and Locally Operated" and has been in Lake City since 1926. It makes handmade bushel baskets, typically used by crabbers, produce stands and home décor, along with covers and firewood. The baskets are made on a veneer lathe from pine, poplar and gum, held together with galvanized wire, then dried in an industrial dry kiln. Covers are made the same way. The firewood comes from the cores of the veneered logs, which dry partly on the log yard before being split and kiln dried. The area served is Florence County. This is a basket, cover and firewood maker. It does not buy standing timber or sell timber, and it does not log or manage land. A landowner looking for a timber buyer or a logging crew will need to look elsewhere. If you have pine, gum or poplar and want to know where that wood can go locally, this mill works with those species. It suits a landowner who wants to talk to a Lake City mill about wood, not a forester or timber buyer. From cartermfgbaskets.com, read 16 October 2026.
Consulting Foresters covering Florence County
Lake City is in Florence County, and consulting foresters register by county rather than by town. These 51 are on the South Carolina Forestry Commission consulting forester list for this county. Unlike a timber buyer, a forester works for you — but check where they're based: some will happily travel across the state, and some are a long way from your land.
3D LandGroup is a land and timber company based in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Dan H. Stuckey set it up in 2018 as a land investment company. It works with private landowners, forest product companies, and timberland investment groups across the Southeast, and it says it treats land as something that should earn income and grow in value over time. Mr. Stuckey brings about 30 years in forestry, land brokerage, and wood buying. Before starting the firm, he spent years at International Paper overseeing forest inventory on 2.7 million acres and buying wood for the company's Georgetown paper mill. The firm states that it holds Broker-in-Charge licenses in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, that it has Registered Foresters in those three states, and that Mr. Stuckey is a SAF Certified Forester. It says its timber sales aim for "top of the market" pricing, and that it is certified to run prescribed burns. The services cover timber sales and appraisals, timber harvesting plans, forest management plans, reforestation, road building and maintenance, land clearing, mulching, wetland permitting, land planning, and real estate sales. The South Carolina counties it lists include Georgetown, Horry, Charleston, Beaufort, Greenville, and Richland, along with many others across the state. It suits owners who want one firm to plan the tract, sell the timber, and handle roads, clearing, or wildlife work, and who think of their land as an investment.

Dargan, King, and Knight, LLC is a forestry consulting firm in Darlington, South Carolina, with its office on Cashua Street. It takes on timber sales and appraisals, reforestation, herbicide application, road and ditch building, prescribed burning, and wildlife management. It also handles endangered species work, forest certification, carbon sequestration, conservation easements, taxation, pine straw sales, and real estate sales and divisions. Its members have served as expert witnesses in court. The firm says it generates the most timber sale revenue possible for the landowner while ensuring a quality logging job. Its goal is for "each tree to reach its highest potential value market." Buyers accept its pole marking, so poles can be sold even when a sale area has very few. The species it names include pine sawlogs, red oak, cherrybark oak, and cypress. The smallest job its pages show is about 128 acres, the O'Bryan Tract near Florence, which was offered as a land sale. That comes from the smallest job shown, not from a stated minimum. The firm lists 26 counties, including Darlington, Florence, Dillon, Horry, Charleston, and Aiken. Tim Dargan is a South Carolina Registered Forester, licensed real estate broker, and certified prescribed fire manager. Tracy Knight is a registered forester in South and North Carolina. Charlie King and Tracy Knight are licensed commercial chemical applicators in both states. It suits a landowner with pine or hardwood timber who wants help with the sale, or who is also weighing a land sale, a conservation easement, or longleaf work.
