Where do I find buyers for mahogany timber and how is the price set?

Mahogany is bought by furniture makers, sawmills, plywood units and timber traders. You can sell standing trees to a contractor who fells and transports, or sell felled logs directly to a sawmill or trader. Price is set mainly by log girth, length, straightness and the timber rate at the time, with thick straight clear logs fetching a much better per unit rate than thin or crooked ones. Rates vary with demand, so get quotes from more than one buyer. Knowing the rough girth and volume of your trees helps you bargain and avoid a lowball offer. Arrange the state transit pass for the timber before sale so transport is legal. Selling when you are not in distress also helps you hold out for a fair price.
