Hello Group. I would like to introduce myself. I have been lurking here for several years, and now have joined since I have now retired. I have 2 portable mills, and have been milling for 27 years. I am a registered forester in WNC, and do that and portable milling for people.
I have already learned a lot from this site, and look forward to interacting with you.
Welcome NCForster.
I'm just outside of downtown Norfolk, Va.
Glad to have you here with us.
Thanks Solomon
Welcome to the forum. I'm sure we can learn a thing or two from you.
NCForester,welcome to the forum. A retired forester with 2 portable sawmills. I'm just curious,why two? :)
welcome aboard NCForester. You have some good company there in NC that frequent the forum. I'd dare say there's more NC sawyers on the Forestry Forum than just about any other state :)...but I could be wrong ;D...it's happened befor :D

Hello NCForester, and Welcome to the Forestry Forum. :)
Thank all of you for the welcome. In response to posted questions. I ended up with two woodmizers because I bought an LT-20 back in 1987, and a LT-40 in 2007. I kept the 20 to leave at my house. The LT-40 is my portable mill for jobs.
I really enjoy taking a raw product, and producing all sorts of usable products out of what many foresters would consider junk.
I am currently doing a job sawing yellow-poplar for two Buncombe Co. farmers to build machinery sheds.
I am doing about 15-25 job a year since retirement in 2012.
Thanks again for this site.
Welcome to the Forestry Forum. :)
I'm on both sides of the state as my profile shows.

Welcome!
One of our members has a get-together for NC millers planned in the near future (it's a reschedule for one that was rained out). Be sure sure to watch the posts for the announcements.
Welcome, I am down in McDowell.

Hi Seman,
Where in Old Fort are you? I used to cover McDowell Co. in my USDA job. I have a sawmill job to do in Old Fort this spring.
I am in Swannanoa, near Warren Wilson College.
We own land in Dysartsville.
Welcome Forester, why did you wait so long to come out of the bushes.? good to have you on board. Do you sharpen your own bands or send them out.?? Frank C.

Welcome to the forum.
Welcome. We just completed a forestry plan with one of your colleagues out of Holly Springs for a farm in Franklin Co. Not near you, I know, but do you know David Halley? We are now in a conservation easement. 8)
