    Black Walnut Value

    I buy walnut standing all the time, the trees are small, the size of the growth ring and the grade determine what they are worth, the price could easily be fair. At that size the only thing worth anything would probably be the butt log, normally 60 percent of the value is in the first log, He...

    Oddest encounter with a land owner ever

    I am not sure he profited, but he was involved, the owner is in his 90s and I believe he is just being taken advantage. In the coarse of 30 minutes he managed to contradict himself on several topics. He also did something that made me very cautious based on past experiences. I know most of the...

    Oddest encounter with a land owner ever

    Thought I had to share this after 36 years I figured I have seen and heard it all. I got a call the other day from a landowner with 40 acres of timber, he said it had been logged 15 years ago and he heard that I was honest guy and came highly recommend from someone I do business with. At this...

    Do you all ever not have "One of those days"?

    I only get nervous when things don't go wrong and break. It is like waiting to be punched, struggling with broken stuff, employees late and then braking it for you, parts that are obsolete, the wrong ones shipped, priced at twice what there worth when you can find them... that's normal in my world

    Anybody else going to Booneville this week

    I always feel guilty about taking the day off but this year I am planning on going. I figure I can stand around on Friday and watch some of the logger events and lie with the best of them how I could have always done better when I was younger. Hopefully stock up on supplies while there nothing...

    Blue Cutter

    I just guess I too can not longer see what I have filed and not filed, I am sure file one tooth more than once, I kind of go by feel and how much pressure there is against the file than by sight. If I am pressed for time a few quick strokes are better than none

    What do you doon your day off?

    I too watched Swamp Loggers today, sad when one of the best ways to relax is to watch what you do all week. I hear the same comments from my wife every time she catches me watching it " You watching that again?" It does not get old with me and I agree with the comments made here about there...

    What do you doon your day off?

    I am sure I can not be the only one who suffers this dilemma, I work way to many hours, I am outside where I love to be. On my Sunday off which does not always happen I long to do some of the other stuff that I see others doing that take way to much energy. I would love have a good road bicycle...

    A Survey You Might Fill Out

    There is nothing more green than logging, we do no more than pull the weeds of the forest; pick the fruit that is ripe and discard the garbage. Done right there is a better stand of timber than we started. I do a much better job of managing the woods than any fire, which is what some...
