WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST

Oh how I wish logs weren’t so heavy and they could float to the nearest mill for sawing. I watched a beautiful 20 inch, 16 foot red oak log be cut up into firewood lengths when it could have made some beautiful wood and lasted many decades. I can’t say I blame any one in particular for this occurring, but just the lack of accessible or conveniently located wood products markets perhaps.

May the forest be with you,
