The two basic ways to sell timber are either as stumpage (standing timber) or as logs or other finished products. Each way has its pros and cons. Log sales involve harvesting and processing your own timber and then selling the finished products that come from it: veneer, sawtimber, pulpwood, etc.
The average stumpage price is $300/MBF, or $1,800 per acre total value.
Depending on the type of trees and the market when the timber is sold, you could earn $500 to $2000 per acre (at $1500, you would be looking at $60 per year in income if you were to annualize it over 25 years).
As a guide timber harvesting costs are commonly between $20 and $40 per cubic metre depending on the type of machinery used, the type of the logs and the site conditions. Harvesting costs are generally lower for large plantations of large diameter logs on easy accessible country.
The more mature trees you have, the more likely it is that your timber is ready for harvest. To estimate the value of your timber, take the volume, divided by 1,000, and multiply it by the price quoted in your states standing timber stumpage report.
Timber prices are negotiated between the seller and the buyer based on the relationship between supply and demand factors.
It's generally much easier to sell trees in a woodlot harvest, where many trees are sold and harvested at the same time. To cut down your tree, a timber buyer must bring in laborers, a log truck, skidder, loader, and other equipment. The buyer must cut the logs and haul them to the mill to sell.
