Our Log Buying Process
1. Call or email Perry with your property location and species. 2. We walk the property, mark and estimate volume, and give you a straightforward offer. 3. If you accept, we schedule the harvest and handle the logistics. 4. You get paid at delivery — no surprises, no hidden deductions.
Species & Grading We Buy
We purchase mature White Oak and Red Oak sawlogs, 16" diameter and up at the small end, straight and sound with minimal defect. Veneer-quality logs earn a premium — ask Perry for a walk-through if you think you've got them.
Questions Landowners Ask
Do I have to sell my whole property? No — we buy select-cut or clear-cut, whatever fits your land management goals. Is there a cost to get an estimate? No, walk-throughs and quotes are free. How fast can you move? Most jobs are assessed within a week and harvested within a season, depending on weather and access.
