How to Manage Your Woodlot

Graeme Quick begins with choosing and using the right tools for your job, with special attention to chainsaws, brush cutters, pole saws, stump grinders, splitters, and chippers, along with axes, splitting mauls, hand saws, and loppers. He discusses safety considerations at length, then moves on to management practices and principles, covering topics from clearing old growth to skidding lumber; removing stumps to trailblazing; harvesting to planting. With additional advice about cutting and storing wood for fuel, and selling timber, "Wood" is a complete and indispensable resource for anyone with a woodlot to manage.
