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.

Decided yesterday to get them.


I always worry when cutting

I realize that we all have different sawing/business profiles and markets but I consider my opening face as the most important cut that I make on any log. The opening face determines the position of every other face opening and ultimately my saw through.

After turning my opening face up, I determine my targets within that log which may or may not be marked with my crayon. Since piths are generally off-center, I level the log....not the pith.Read More

When I started the mill he said, that starter really turns slow. I responded with, it has been that way for a long time. After...
