Selling Timber in Taylor County, TX

Burns Forestry presents itself as a forestry consulting firm in Crockett, Texas that promotes sustainable and responsible natural resource management, saying a consultant works with landowners to manage property in a way that suits the ecosystems present or desired and gives the technical expertise needed for goals such as timber production, wildlife habitat, recreation or conservation. Services listed are forest management planning, timber valuation and sales, wildlife habitat management, and forest inventory covering timber volume, species composition, forest health, property mapping and boundary verification. The firm describes acting for the landowner rather than buying timber itself: it marks trees for harvest, prepares a Timber Sale Prospectus that the landowner approves before it goes to qualified buyers, often uses competitive bid sales, and then prepares a Timber Sale Agreement, said to run up to 12 months. Landowners typically receive a first payment within three weeks of harvesting beginning; consultants inspect the property during the harvest, keep load and scale ticket records, and make a final inspection, and harvests are said to comply with Texas Best Management Practices. An initial reconnaissance visit is the starting point, with plots taken to judge whether a property is ready to harvest. Also described are forest and wildlife management plans with maps and timelines, help with timber tax valuation and wildlife tax exemption through county appraisal districts, real estate and appraisal, and special studies including investment analysis, yield modelling, storm damage reports and growth studies. The team page names founder Gary Burns, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and a master's in forestry and wildlife and is described as a wildlife biologist. The office is at 310 North Fifth Street, Crockett. As described on burnsforestry.com, read 23 September 2026.

Lankford's Mesquite Products appears online as Lankford's Mesquite Gallery, the workshop of Terry Lankford in Abilene, Texas, which makes custom mesquite furniture, lamps and fireplace mantels. The site is organised around beds, mantels, tables and mesquite lumber, with gourd art by Susan Lankford shown alongside. It describes Texas mesquite as a wood known for its rich auburn colour, highly figured grain and character patterns that age to a distinctive patina. By the site's account Terry Lankford graduated from Abilene Christian University in 1975 with a degree in Industrial Technology, and his background is in woodworking along with ten years in the limestone quarry and fabricating business; he names the building of the Marty Leonard Chapel at the Lena Pope Children's Home in Fort Worth as his greatest woodworking accomplishment. He began working full time with mesquite in 2001, and the site says that since 2001 the shop has continued to make custom mesquite furniture. Most designs are custom ordered: Terry or Susan will discuss the idea, and once design, timeline and budget are agreed a 30 per cent deposit is required before work begins, with the balance paid before delivery or shipment. Lead times vary with the size of the piece, the intricacy of the design and the work already scheduled, and the site notes it is not uncommon for the shop to be booked six to eight months out for large pieces. The showroom is next to the shop at the Lankfords' home, and the site asks visitors to telephone ahead on 325-660-5223. Terry is a member of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce, the Abilene Better Business Bureau and the Texas Mesquite Association. As described on mesquitegallery.com, read 23 September 2026.
