Found a nice documentary of the evolution of the machinery used in the woods over here, I hope you like it!
How old are the stands in the video? Even the old crosscut saw films are small trees?
Surprised that the stands are logged when trees as small as they are, unless stuff grows really slow there. In DF PNW stands, those would be only 30 years old or so.

Our old growth trees were cut 3-400 years ago, not that they were much bigger, the steel industry needed massive amounts of coal so pretty much everything has been cut at least once near the industries. The further upnorth the smaller trees, in my area they reach about 26-30m (close to 100ft?) when 100 years old. DBH about 40cm.
Our tallest trees are Norway spruce that are about 40m tall, 45m max. Here's some footage of a stand that's 88 years old:
I think what ArtB is saying our thinning wood is the size of the clear cut wood in Europe which is true. We run your clear cut harvesters in our thinnings such as the 1270’s, 1470’s, Ergo’s, Bears, 931’s, and 951’s.

Oh I see. That's probably true, isn't the PNW the best place for conifers in the world? I wonder what the site index is for the huge stands over there, our charts top out at 36m for pine and spruce
