As a woodlot owner, I know that many of you out there cut your own firewood. As an experienced user, we have been owners of Husqvarna and Steel chainsaws for more than 35 years. Our own "Huskey" is still running like new after 30 years of use!

There are a lot of brands to choose from out there and there are a lot of models within each brand. But I have to say "Spend a little more and get the best!" Husqvarna and Steel will give you a life time of reusable service.

Of course proper maintenance is key.  You want to make sure you keep your chain sharp, a dull chain will cause unnecessary over revving to cut through your piece of wood.  Secondly, make sure your oil and gas mixture is properly maintained. Nothing will burn a chainsaw up faster than an incorrect gas and oil mixture. 

Needles to say, always use proper safety practices. Wear safety chaps and eye protection!

Autumn in Michigan is most certainly a time of change....More to come

We can help you determine if your standing hardwood timber is overly dense. It is possible that a selective, sustainable harvest would benefit the health of your standing timber and release the younger trees to grow without restraint.

Did you know your standing timber is competitive?
In any timber stand the trees compete with each other for light, soil nutrients, moisture and space.
The more crowded the stand the more intense the competition. In a crowded overly dense timber stand all trees are weakened and growth is slowed.  Mother nature naturally remedies this by disease and insects and the weaker trees will eventually die, albeit a very slow process. This is where a selective timber harvest will help.
