Do you have trees to grow? Logs to saw? A forest to manage? Chainsaws to fix? A sawmill to purchase or maintain? Timber related business to run? Lumber to dry? Trees or plants to identify? A cabin to build? Are you hungry and like FOOD?

Or would you just like to pull up a stump and visit with a friend?
If any of these and a multitude of other topics apply, then The Forestry Forum is the place for you.

The shipping price could vary depending on where you live.
I have negotiated a price on this

Hello all, I've had difficulty getting ahold of the Wood Mizer techs familiar with the WM1000. Has anybody replaced the magnetic tape on their WM1000? Replacing the physical tape seems easy enough, but I'm wondering if/how I need to reset the computer counter. Any advice? Much appreciated.

This blade came today for me to trial:


Chris even sent a pair of gloves.


I'll put it on Monday morning to not necessarily see how it saws but how long it saws. I have been only sawing 8-12 and using one blade per day. We shall see. ??

Cantilever Sawmill Design - Why is it that Wood-mizer is the only manufacturer that builds their bandsaw mills with a cantilever sawhead? Their original patents are expired yet no one is trying to create a cheaper woodmizer style cantilever mill?
