Wright Custom Timber and Arms is a sawmill business in Gandeeville, West Virginia. They run a Wood-Mizer LT-50 Wide mill, and they also bring the mill to you, doing "on-site mobile sawmill work" if you'd rather have the cutting done at your own place. Their mill is fully hydraulic and portable, and they're "able to cut 34" width and 20' length," so if you've got big logs this is worth knowing. They serve Roane County. No species are named, so ask them directly about what they can handle. There's no stated minimum acreage, and no smallest job to go by either, since this isn't a timber-buying or logging outfit. This is a milling operation, not timber buying or consulting, so it suits a landowner who already has logs down, or standing timber they plan to have cut, and wants it sawn into lumber, whether at the mill or on their own land.

How much is my timber worth in Roane 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.
What stumpage value means →Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Roane 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.
