Hinzman Millworks Inc

About Hinzman Millworks Inc

Hinzman Millworks Inc is a sawmill and timber buyer in West Union, West Virginia. It's a "fifth-generation, family-owned" operation that has run since 1990, and it buys standing timber as well as milling it. The mill's main focus is white oak, which it turns into staves for bourbon barrels, including barrels used by Buffalo Trace. Hinzman Millworks also mills railroad ties, cants, construction-grade hardwood, coal mine cribbing, and other dimensional lumber, so it isn't built around one product alone. It works directly with landowners and loggers to buy timber, kiln dries what it takes in, and prepares export-ready stock for cooperages and wineries overseas. It names Doddridge County as an area it serves, and says more broadly that it's "dedicated to supporting the hardworking people and natural resources of the great state of West Virginia." It describes its harvesting as selective, aimed at long-term forest health rather than cutting everything at once. This fits a landowner in Doddridge County with white oak on their land worth looking at for stave quality, who wants a mill that will buy the logs directly rather than just a crew to cut them.
