Cowan Lumber Inc.If you own standing timber within 40 miles of the mill, we will come out, walk your woods, measure and price your timber on site, and offer a written contract that clearly states the terms. From first visit to cutting to our own sawmill, you deal directly with the company owner.
Why sell directly to the mill
Sell directly to the mill
No middleman. We buy the timber, our subcontractors log it, and we saw it at our own mill in Mifflinburg.
One point of contact
You talk with the owner from the first walk through your woods to the last load.
Owner on site
Ownership has training from the Pennsylvania Sustainable Forestry Initiative and is on site for each job.
Professional harvest
Professional sub-contractors with the tools, training and experience to harvest your timber sustainably.
We fix the trails
We have our own dozer to repair tracks or damage from wet ground conditions.
References available
Many customers come to us by referral. We're glad to put you in touch with past landowners.
We care about your woods afterward
The value we give on your first harvest is what brings us back for the next one. We advise on when and how to thin and harvest for long-term, sustainable yields, including trail systems, timber stand improvement, and wildlife and diversity management.
