Logging & Sawmill Supplies for Working Timber Operations
CSP Forestry has outfitted professional logging and sawmill operations since 1986. From family woodlots to large industrial timber operations, we supply the cutting components, log handling tools, measurement equipment, chainsaw maintenance supplies, and operator safety gear that working loggers depend on every day. Our inventory is built around what timber crews actually need in the field — not catalog filler — with fast shipping to keep your operation running without downtime.
Whether you're running a hand-felling operation with chainsaws, a mechanical harvest with a feller-buncher and skidder, or a small portable sawmill producing lumber on-site, CSP Forestry carries the supplies for every stage of the timber harvest. Browse our complete forestry, logging, and sawmill collection and explore product categories below to find exactly what your crew needs.
Chainsaw Bars, Chain & Cutting Components
The cutting system is the heart of any logging operation. CSP Forestry carries professional-grade chainsaw guide bars in standard and low-kickback profiles for felling, bucking, and limbing, along with saw chain from Oregon and Carlton in every common pitch and gauge. We stock full-chisel, semi-chisel, and full-skip chain for different cutting conditions — full-chisel for clean, fast cuts in softwood and semi-chisel for dirty wood, hardwood, and extended cutting sessions without resharpening.
For mechanized timber harvest, we carry harvester bars and saw components designed for the high-cycle demands of feller-buncher, harvester head, and slasher applications. We also stock chainsaw sharpening files and accessories for maintaining your chain in the field, along with bar and chain oil and two-cycle engine oil to keep cutting equipment running clean. Pair with our full chainsaw supplies collection for all maintenance and cutting components in one place.
Log Handling Tools: Cant Hooks, Peaveys & Skidding Tongs
Efficient, safe log handling requires the right tools for every stage of the operation. CSP Forestry carries cant hooks and peaveys from Council Tool and other trusted manufacturers — cant hooks for rolling and positioning logs on flat ground or at the mill, and peaveys with ground spikes for better grip on slopes and near water. For skidding and yarding, our skidding tongs grip logs securely for machine or cable skidding, available in single and double configurations for different log sizes and skidding methods.
Additional log handling tools include log jacks and log stands for positioning logs safely during bucking, chokers and choker hooks for cable skidding, and logging chains and binders for securing loads on log trucks and trailers. Browse our full selection of log handling equipment alongside tie-downs and tow straps and truck and ATV supplies for a complete log transport toolkit.
Log Scaling & Timber Measurement Tools
Accurate log scaling and timber measurement directly affects your bottom line. CSP Forestry carries a comprehensive selection of log rules and scale sticks in Scribner, Doyle, and International 1/4" scales, logger diameter tapes for fast, accurate DBH measurement in the stand, and log calipers for precise diameter measurement at the mill or landing. Our pole tapes and gauging tapes are designed for measuring standing timber, and our Biltmore sticks provide quick volume estimates in the field.
For timber cruise and inventory work, pair these scaling tools with tally counters, hypsometers, and clinometers for complete stand measurement capability. We also carry field books and hip chains for recording and tracking data during cruise and inventory work.
Felling Tools: Axes, Hatchets & Wedges
Hand felling and bucking work requires quality striking tools. CSP Forestry carries professional-grade hatchets and felling axes from Gransfors Bruks and Council Tool — two of the most respected names in American and Swedish axe-making. Gransfors Bruks hand-forged axes are legendary among timber professionals for their edge quality and balance; Council Tool axes are the standard for wildland fire crews and loggers who demand American-made durability.
We carry splitting mauls, felling axes, forest axes, and hatchets in a range of weights and handle lengths for different applications. For bucking safety, we stock plastic and aluminum felling and bucking wedges used to control fall direction, prevent bar pinching, and keep the cut open. Browse our full forestry hand tools selection alongside axes and wedges for all the cutting and brushing tools your timber crew needs.
Logger Safety Gear & PPE
Logging is one of the highest-risk occupations, and proper personal protective equipment is non-negotiable. CSP Forestry carries a full range of logger safety gear including chainsaw-rated chaps and cut-resistant gaiters, TurtleSkin and Labonville chainsaw protection, logger's hard hats with face shields and ear muffs, and ASTM-rated work boots with chainsaw and puncture protection. Our full safety and PPE collection covers everything required for OSHA-compliant logging operations.
We also carry chainsaw safety accessories including scabbards and bar covers, chainsaw tool kits, and chain brake maintenance supplies. For first aid readiness on remote logging sites, browse our first aid and emergency supplies. Protecting your crew is as important as equipping them — CSP Forestry provides both.
Portable Sawmill Supplies & Lumber Processing
Small-scale lumber milling has grown significantly, and CSP Forestry supports portable sawmill operators with the blades, accessories, and maintenance supplies needed for consistent, quality milling. We carry band saw blades compatible with Wood-Mizer, LT, and other popular portable sawmill brands, along with blade maintenance supplies and sharpening tools. For chainsaw milling applications, our selection of chainsaw bars and ripping chain covers Alaskan mill and slab milling setups.
Lumber produced at portable mills requires grading, marking, and transport. We carry lumber crayons and grading markers for marking cuts, species, and grades, along with scannable lumber chalk for automated sorting systems. Browse our full marking products collection for all your lumber marking and identification needs.
Logging Road Safety & Job Site Signage
Active logging operations require clear, compliant signage to protect workers and the public. CSP Forestry stocks logging road signs including speed limit signs, grade warning signs, one-lane road signs, and trucking operation signs — all built from aluminum with reflective sheeting for durability on forest roads. Pair with our traffic control supplies, sign stands, and flagging tape for a complete job site safety program that meets state forestry practice and MUTCD requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What logging supplies does CSP Forestry stock?
CSP Forestry stocks a comprehensive range of logging and sawmill supplies including chainsaw bars, saw chain, skidding tongs, cant hooks and peaveys, log rules and scale sticks, diameter tapes, felling axes, wedges, and logger safety gear.
What saw chain pitch and gauge do I need?
Chain pitch and gauge are specified on your chainsaw's guide bar. Common pitches are 3/8", .325", and 3/8" low-profile; common gauges are .050" and .058". Full-chisel chain is fastest in clean softwood; semi-chisel holds its edge longer in dirty wood and hardwood. Browse our saw chain and Oregon chain selection for options matched to your saw.
What is the difference between a cant hook and a peavey?
A cant hook has a blunt tip and is best for rolling logs on flat ground or at a sawmill. A peavey has a pointed steel spike at the base for better grip on uneven terrain and in or near water. Both are used for log positioning and rolling; the peavey provides more stability on slopes and soft ground.
Can I find log measurement and scaling tools at CSP Forestry?
Yes. We carry log rules and scale sticks in Scribner, Doyle, and International 1/4" scales, diameter tapes, log calipers, pole and gauging tapes, and Biltmore sticks for timber measurement and log scaling at landings and mills.
Do you carry band saw blades for portable sawmills?
Yes. We carry band saw blades compatible with Wood-Mizer, LT, and other popular portable sawmill brands. Blade life depends on wood species and cleanliness — keep spares on hand and pair with our sharpening supplies for on-site blade maintenance.
What chainsaw safety gear is required for logging?
OSHA and most state forestry practice acts require chainsaw-rated leg protection (chaps or cut-resistant gaiters), hard hat with face shield and ear protection, cut-resistant gloves, and chainsaw-rated boots. CSP Forestry carries compliant options from Labonville, TurtleSkin, and other professional safety brands in our logger safety gear collection.
What brands of axes does CSP Forestry carry?
We carry Gransfors Bruks hand-forged Swedish axes and Council Tool American-made axes and hatchets — two of the most trusted brands in professional forestry and fire hand tools. Browse our full hatchets and axes collection for available models and sizes.
