I have a few questions about harvesting timber

  Phorester beat me to it.  The first question to you from anyone looking to help you with your woods is "What are your goals with your woods".

  I am a small scale logger and portable sawmill owner.  I have had that conversation and ended up telling the land owner he should not cut any trees now, but a consulting forester friend of mine says I don't have that "killer instinct" of most loggers.  I prefer it that way so I can sleep well at night.
