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.

Planning to put in a concrete pad for my mill this summer. Unless you guys talk me out of it. Mill sits under the lean to off my garage right now. Stable ground with 3/4 minus crushed rock. Lean to is 12x36. undecided on whether i need concrete to fill the whole space or just enough to cover the mill. Leaning towards filling most of the space. I guess cost will dictate that. Im in atlantic Canada. Is there options for concrete these days? HAve i heard of concrete with fiberglass in it or something? Does that negate putting rebar or steel mesh in it?Read More

These logs came in on a tree service load with no bark on them.
I thought it was Basswood but sawed hard unlike any Basswood I have sawn before and don't look like it
Any thoughts?
