Middle Valley Lumber LLC
Listing #75 Listed on: 02/10
Middle Valley Lumber LLC is a partnership between a logger and a sawyer. We can obtain just about any wood given the correct lead time. We handle all typical types of custom sawing, weither for grade, flitches, wide boards, quartersawn, plainsawn, or whatever the need. We custom cut fencing and trailer decking generaly from black locust and oak species. We specialize in hard to find domestic woods like wide walnut, burls, black locust, properly air dried wood, and selective low impact logging.
Majority of our milling is on our bandsaw, but we also run a 66" double powerhead chainsaw mill for very wide boards. We currently have great vast access to black locust and black walnut, and always have good stock in oak species.
In addition to eastern red cedar, and black locust lumber, we offer pole wood from both species for rustic fencing, pergolas, pavilions, and any other outdoor application.

Some Black Locust Log stock. We have great acess to much more of this.

Here is a once endangered and still rare Pileated Woodpecker on a 100 acre logging jobsite that we just completed this past January. We take great care and respect around all wildlife while logging. Trees that inhabit and provide shelter for wildlife are NEVER cut down, for they are much more valuable standing. We take great pride in working around and enjoy such creatures for it is sad how rare they have become.

Travis,
Nice website, and looks like you have a great operation. Just wanted to point out one error on your page - your last photo - with the pileated on it - they're not endangered. Actually, quite common and doing well across the many states and Canadian providences they inhabit. Not sure if you had another species in mind that was possibly state listed in NJ, but from the photo, sure looks to be a pileated. Nonetheless, best of luck with your business, have fun out there.
Buck

Buck,
They are not classified as endangered now, but in 1880 they had completly dissapeared from northern new jersey, and by 1908 they had completly dissapeared from southern new jersey. This dissappearance is due to human presence, and our neglagence at the time, and much of it could be placed on loggers for deforestation. This is the only one I have ever seen in all my time in the thousands of acres I have walked. I am suprised they are not listed as endangered in NJ now because it seems all the know nesting sites can still be counted with you fingers.
Other species that we have come across have been, the red shouldered hawk, bald eagles, longeared and barred owls, and once a bobcat, they are extremly aware of human presence, and if they are around you will only get a quick glimpse if anything.
