Samsel Mill-Work & Saw-Shop is a family run sawmill and saw shop in Hancock, Wisconsin, right in the center of Waushara County. The Samsel family started by planting trees on an abandoned farm back in the 1950s, and the business has grown from that into a custom sawmill with a kiln and millwork operation alongside a Husqvarna saw shop. On the mill side they cut lumber and offer moulding, flooring and paneling, working with ash, cherry, fir, jack pine and oak. On the saw shop side they sell new and used chainsaws and equipment, backed by a "full service Husqvarna Certified Repair Technician on site." They describe themselves as a "one stop shop for all your lumber and saw / equipment needs," covering both the timber and the tools end of the work. They serve Waushara County. The team includes three generations of Samsels running the mill, along with staff dedicated to the saw shop and production line, so the work is spread across people who know different parts of the operation rather than one person doing it all. This fits a landowner in or near Waushara County who wants custom milling, lumber products, or chainsaw sales and repair handled by one outfit, rather than someone looking for a timber buyer or a logging crew to harvest standing trees.

How much is my timber worth in Waushara 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 Waushara 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.
