Reliable Log Brokering for Commercial and Industrial Buyers
At Ohio Timber Works, we specialize in brokering high-quality hardwood logs for businesses that demand consistency, reliability, and flexibility. Whether you run a sawmill, export yard, furniture factory, or veneer mill, we help you source logs that meet your exact production standards.
Our brokerage network includes a wide array of forest tracts throughout Ohio, Indiana, and neighboring states. We work directly with landowners and logging crews to procure logs that meet your preferred species, sizes, and grade requirements. In other words, we deliver logs on your terms.
Species and Log Specifications to Match Your Business
We understand that your facility relies on specific log inputs to maintain workflow and output quality. That’s why we offer custom-sorted hardwood logs across a wide range of species:
- White Oak — prime for cooperage, flooring, and furniture
- Black Walnut — ideal for high-end architectural millwork
- Hard and Soft Maple — versatile for cabinetry and paneling
- Cherry, Hickory, Ash, Poplar — available seasonally and in sorted loads
Log lengths typically range from 8′ to 16′, and we regularly fulfill requests for custom diameters and veneer-grade logs. For example, if your mill needs 13’+ clear walnut logs with minimal sweep, we can source and sort accordingly.
Transparent Grading and Field Inspection
Every log we broker undergoes in-field inspection before it’s scaled and tagged. Our team evaluates straightness, defects, diameter, and grain to ensure that the load meets your standards before it ever leaves the forest. Therefore, you avoid surprises and reduce waste at your end.
Our grading process aligns with the NHLA Grading Rules and can be adjusted to fit international log buyer specs as needed.
Flexible Logistics and Load Coordination
Once logs are selected and sorted, we manage loading, hauling, and delivery. Next, we coordinate transportation via flatbed, log truck, or container—depending on your facility’s offloading capabilities and regional location.
In addition, we can group multiple species per load or provide mono-species shipments for ease of scaling and yard handling. Our logistics team ensures that deliveries arrive on time and in good order.
