Green sawtimber is the market read; salvage, deck, stewardship and product sales price on token minimums and are labeled as their own class, not blended into the sawtimber figures. State volumes are in MBF and federal volumes in CCF, and the two are never summed. The page updates in place as late results for the month post; it does not forecast prices or advise what to bid. The chart is the volume-weighted green sawtimber price month by month, in dollars per MBF, the unit the sales in August 2026 were scaled in. It runs from the start of this archive through August 2026 and stops there, so the line shows what a buyer reading this month could already see. A month that closed no comparable sawtimber sale in that unit is left as a gap rather than plotted as a zero, and the three units are charted apart, never averaged together. ## About this data - Source: Washington DNR, Oregon Department of Forestry, Idaho Department of Lands, Montana DNRC, US Forest Service Region 6 and BLM Western Oregon timber auctions - Series: Completed public timber sales for one calendar month, all agencies - Basis: Stumpage; $/MBF (state), $/CCF (federal) and $/ton (Idaho/Montana) kept separate - Geography: The Pacific Northwest - Unit: $/MBF - Calculation period: August 2026, with the monthly price history up to it - Last observation: Aug 2026 - Update frequency: Monthly, updated as late results post ## Official sources - [Montana DNRC bid summary — Klinger Blowdown Salvage Timber Sale](https://dnrc.mt.gov/_docs/Trust-Land/FMB-Timber-Sales/2027_KlingerBlowdownSalvage_BidResultscc.pdf) - [WA DNR results psl_ts_2608_results.pdf](https://dnr.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2026-08/psl_ts_2608_results.pdf) - [Montana DNRC bid summary — Section 36 Timber Sale](https://dnrc.mt.gov/_docs/Trust-Land/FMB-Timber-Sales/2027_Section36_BidResults.pdf) - [Oregon DOF timber sale results](https://apps.odf.oregon.gov/Divisions/management/asset_management/saleresults.asp) ## Download the data - [Download recent results (CSV)](https://stumpage.news/data/timber/board-recent-results.csv) --- Cite: August 2026 public timber sale results: $451/MBF as of Aug 2026 (Stumpage).
