Norm. Most whifes should think You already get qualified for that dog- & horse-sleeping!
In Sweden we have other prejudices, we think that blondes are silly and make jokes about that. I´m a bachelor so it´s a better idea You send me a dark beauty and I´m not happy with a poto!
I´ll meet her at Växjö Airport!
We have a law here saying that if you buy woodland you can sell timber or other for 50% of purchase price with out paying tax for it. I´ve just seen a transaction where I don´t understand where the new owner will take this trees in 30 years. People with money buys all they can get and cuts most of it down. Next year they make a new transaction and with a "forrest acount" they can pull the taxes infront for five years that way. There is no chance for a serious forrester to get some woodland because the prices are to high, if you can´t find an old man without heirs, who cares about what will happen his land after his dead.
Here are also sawmills buying a lot because their "to effective" production. These sawmills also buy timber from Norway and Russian.
There is some other regulations about how you can cut down woods but other regulations how to go around them.
A good rotation is
1. planting
2 when the plants is 1,5-5M or so you´ll clear up.
3 betwen ~25-40 years, clear up and thinning 2-3 times.
After ~70 years is often a good time to clear and plant again.
I use to count trees older than ~50 years when I´m driving to costomers. There can be many miles between them and there is no such stands.
Everything with leaves they cut down as weed until about 20 years ago but sometimes they saved some, most alder, aspen and birch but haven´t work with them. Now and then it goes to pulp, leave woods are an article in short supply there.
Thats why I´ve asked for what aspen is good for. Sometimes I can see some big aspen that could be nice boards, but I don´t know if they´ll get rotten used as f. ex.siding.
Aspen is the only of our species that´s good for floorig to the horse. It don´t get slippery but is hard as any wood to sleep on.........
You´re welcome to ask. I´m happy if i can bring you some help. I´ll try to find some Swedish sites for You translated to english. I also posted some about this some weeks ago.
Swede.
