Jeff Drake Sawmill, also doing business as Drake Timber, Logging & Lumber, is based in Brownsville, Tennessee, with a second location in Jackson. The company buys timber and land, runs its own logging crews, and operates a sawmill, working in hardwood species including black cherry and sweetgum. If you call them about selling timber, they'll walk you through valuing it, looking at things like how close your land is to a mill, the species and quality of your trees, and how your land lays for logging equipment. They offer timber valuation as part of that process. They've been at this for over thirty years, and their logging operation has been named Master Logger of the Year. They say they are "Bonded and Insured." They require a minimum of 10 full acres of marketable timber, as stated on their site, though their contact form for selling timber or land asks for a minimum of 30 acres, so it may be worth asking directly which applies to your situation. They serve West Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky, with counties served listed as Haywood. This is a fit for a landowner in West Tennessee with a real stand of marketable hardwood timber, at least 10 acres, who wants one company to buy the timber, log it, and mill it, rather than hiring separate people for each step.

Andy Norris Logging LLC is a timber buying and logging business in Bells, Tennessee. They buy standing timber and work throughout West Tennessee. Andy Norris Logging LLC's name has been on the business since 1992, and the Norris family has been in timber in the area since the 1850s, "a family legacy of five generations." They describe themselves among the "timber dealers in the marketplace," which they say gives them an edge on price. If you reach out, the process starts simple: they come out to survey your property and tell you the cash potential of your standing timber before anything moves forward. No tree species or tract size are named, so landowners with any size or type of woodlot in their area may want to just call and ask. This fits a West Tennessee landowner who wants to deal with a family name that's been doing this a long time, and who wants a straightforward call and survey before any commitment.
