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 had a Older Gentleman that came and checked out my mill.
I currently have a twin blade edger. He said there is an edger that has a top head or knife that will take you can run a slab through and get a board out of the slab.

For a sawmill like a big circle saw, there is a name for the hinged /articulated arm that bridges over the saw head from the cab to the set works. Carries the electric and/or hydraulic lines. One end is stationary. The other end traverses back and forth with the carriage. Read More

I was sawing some white oak with my son today that we had fell and skid back in January. He is going to build an outside kitchen/party kitchen so it is 6x6 post and beams. I was very surprised to see how much stress there was in the logs causing the slabs and flitches to bow like they did... I mean like 1.5 inch up on the ends of 14 foot logs.Read More
