Guy Bennett Lumber Co

The record has this facility taking fir, spruce, pine, softwood, cedar, larch, and hemlock, and species decides more of what a load is worth than the gate it goes through. The Southern yellow pine guide covers how that wood is graded, the defects that pull it down a grade, and what it is normally cut for. The reference list adds a row on Douglas-fir and spruce and fir - what buyers take each for, and the catch.

It is the only facility the Washington sources list in Whitman County, which is worth knowing before you plan a haul: the next gate is in another county. The Whitman County section of the state page shows it standing alone, and all 81 Washington listings cover 25 counties.

Anybody searching for a sawmill near me needs more than one gate. If this one will not take your wood, the nearest other listings are Hy Mark Wood Products in Spangle, 70 miles away, Vaagen Brothers Lumber in Usk, 131 miles away and Boise Cascade - Colville in Colville, 145 miles away. Distances are straight lines between the coordinates the sources published - not road miles, and not a statement that anybody is buying.

None of this says whether the gate is open or what the load would fetch - no agency document records that. A price comes out of a sale run properly: the landowner's guide to selling timber takes the steps in the order they happen, and sealed bidding puts one tract in front of several buyers at once instead of taking the first number offered.
