Greetings Danny:
I work for the University of Illinois; therefore, I do not buy standing timber (It is my job to make landowners aware of timber marketing opportunities and strategies). Might I suggest you contact your local Ohio Department of Natural Resources (Division of Forestry) for licensed timber buyers in your specific area of Ohio. Moreover, I would strongly urge you to contact a local professional consulting forester to assist you in marketing your timber - the probability of making more money and improving the quality of your residual forest is greatly enhanced when you harvest timber with professional forestry assistance, i.e., hire a professionally trained forester!
