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.

I said OK, but remember that it is me that is in charge of scaling the lumber.

Yup, YH says that if it won't roll it ain't a log. We are getting down to the trashy stuff on this job and I told the tailgunner to "bring um on". I would deal with it on the sawmill:

Yup, I was sawing along and making good production when suddenly both the sawmill and I were engulfed in blue smoke.
