A S Hudak Lumber is a sawmill in Swanton, Vermont, serving the St. Albans area and Franklin County. They've been in the lumber and logging business for "over 30 years," cutting cedar, hardwoods, and pine to order. The mill works in Atlantic White Cedar and Eastern White Pine, along with northern hardwoods like hard maple, cherry, butternut, walnut, and tulip poplar. Their cedar comes in v-groove, ship-lap, decking, and custom profiles, plus beams of all sizes and lengths. Pine is available in all NELMA standard patterns, and they'll cut custom knives on request. Lumber can be straight line ripped and S4S to order, and custom planing and molding is done on their five-head Pinheiro planer. There's no mention of timber buying, standing timber sales, or land management here. This is a mill that cuts and sells lumber rather than one that walks your woods and makes an offer on the trees. They offer "Free quotes upon request," so a call or a stop by the mill in Swanton gets you pricing before you commit to anything. This fits a landowner who already has logs or lumber in mind and wants custom milling done, not someone just starting to figure out whether to sell standing timber.

Rough cut lumber, cut to customer's specificationsPosts & RailsPicnic TablesFurniturePlay Sets

Cedar Sawmill of Vermont is a sawmill in Swanton, Vermont, owned and run by David Rollo as a family business. They buy cedar logs locally within Northern Vermont and work with local loggers and truckers to keep logs coming in. Their main focus is white cedar, though they'll saw other species if logs are available. They turn out rough cut lumber cut to a customer's specifications, posts and rails, picnic tables, furniture, and play sets, along with rough-cut and planed lumber, fence panels and components, log cabin logs, log furniture, and shavings and sawdust. They say "we specialize in White Cedar" and serve Franklin county. If you have cedar logs to sell rather than finished products to buy, this is a mill set up to purchase and process them rather than to walk your woods or mark timber for harvest. Orders require a 50% deposit, with the balance due when the order is picked up. This fits a landowner in Northern Vermont with cedar on their land who wants it sawn into lumber, posts, or built pieces like picnic tables and play sets, rather than someone looking for a logging crew or a timber harvest plan.

How much is my timber worth in Franklin 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 Franklin 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.
