Whatever your lumber needs, I have the experience and expertise as a reliable source of custom cut lumber, design, and construction. A business owner since 1972, I understand the value of being responsive to customer needs and remaining current with product knowledge and market trends. A graduate of the University of Georgia in 1967 with a Bachelors degree in Landscape Architecture, my reputation as a naturalist designer solidified my customer base, growing my reputation in landscape design and construction.
Accepting the challenges of savvy eco-friendly buyers, I expanded my landscape business in 1979 with the addition of log home design and construction. The destruction of timber on my family owned tree farm caused by the hurricanes in the 1990s peaked my interest to find alternative ways to recycle the downed trees rather than disposal in landfills.
I started cutting logs with a Wood-Mizer Super LT40 bandsaw to fulfill my personal needs. The sawmill business grew with a renewed interest by homeowners, building contractors, architects, designers, and crafters increasing the demand for custom cut lumber, and hard-to-find species and reclaimed lumber.

Services
My commitment to respecting our environment and dedication to green industry values carries through in my business.
Eighty-five percent of the lumber received at Sell & Associates comes from urban timber rather than disposing of the logs in landfills.
Our remaining lumber stock comes from my personal farm, purchased from local loggers, and from reclaimed beams and lumber from old structures.
Utilizing urban timber provides access to species of trees not commonly or easily found.
At any given time, we have access to or inventory of hard-to-find species just waiting for the right cutting order.
