New Haven, IN
selective cuttingland management servicesbuying standing timber

Buchan Sawmill is a logging and sawmill business in New Haven, Indiana, run by the Buchan family since 1985. They buy standing timber, do the selective cutting themselves, and run their own sawmill, so they handle the job from the woods to the finished lumber. They buy walnut, white and red oak, hickory, hard and soft maple, cherry, poplar, and basswood. Their process is selective cutting aimed at paying well now while keeping the woods healthy for the future, and they say "Our process is designed to provide clients with maximum profit, while still maintaining the integrity, health, and production of the land, for generations to come." They are licensed, bonded, and insured, and they list Allen County, Indiana as an area they serve, with their roots in Northern Indiana's walnut and white oak country. On acreage, Buchan Sawmill states plainly, "There is no job too big or too small," so they don't turn away a small tract on size alone. This fits a landowner in Northern Indiana with hardwood timber, especially walnut or white oak, who wants one outfit to cut, mill, and market the wood rather than juggling separate buyers.

Churubusco, IN
Portable SawmillingCustom Lumber CutsLive Edge SlabsDimensional rough-sawn lumberthick mantels+1 more

Bent Tree Custom Sawing LLC is a portable sawmilling business based in Churubusco, Indiana. If you've got logs on your own ground, "we bring the sawmill to you" rather than making you haul them out. They run a Woodmizer LT40 Wide, which they say handles larger logs than most mobile mills can take, so oversized yard trees or oak logs too big to move aren't wasted. The work covers portable sawmilling done right on your property, custom lumber cuts, dimensional rough-sawn lumber, thick mantels, unique geometric cuts, and live edge slabs for furniture or tables. Oak is the species they name specifically. To start a job, you send them details on your logs or project and they come back with an estimate. They're a family-owned outfit serving Fort Wayne and the surrounding Northern Indiana area, with Churubusco, Warsaw, and Kendallville named as places they reach, and Allen County as their listed service county. Their own words on how they work: "Your Tree, Your Table" sums up their approach to turning a landowner's log into something useful back on that same property. This fits a landowner with a log or two already down, or a prized tree that needs taking care of on-site, rather than someone managing a standing timber sale across many acres.

How much is my timber worth in Allen 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 Allen 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.
