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.

So a local business has reached out to me with a request to provide an ongoing supply of 2x4's for their shipping needs.

These will be a one time use, southern yellow pine, and the numbers are very good. They go through them so quickly that they don't need to be dried or even stickered. Initial estimate
