Geir, Nice wagon. Very helpful to see the “fifth wheel” attachment. I could do something like that with a bar across my 4 wheeled walking beam arch thus giving me some articulation on rough ground. Thanks for sharing.

John Plowden, a superb horse logger in Stow, Maine is building some Scandinavian gear. He has a great log wagon/arch combination. John is on DAP.

Scandinavia has been kicking our rear in so many aspects of forestry. Their attention to efficiency and handling of small wood specifically interests me. Interesting to see the western style of hames and collar integrated into their style of D-ring. I have gotten used to seeing the wooden hames they normally use. Is that a Spotted Draft or a Clyde/other with a lot of chrome? I have a 4yo Spotted Draft gelding as my latest addition, great horse! Most importantly I want to know where I can get my hands on one of those stylin’ Skoghasten ball caps!

I agree it is amazing that you here all these log buyers complaining about the quality of timber but you mention anything but takeing the best and leaving the rest and they think you are a nut case! You look at the old forestry and industreal teaching books and they teach how the whole tree was used then then the chemical people came in and told us how sinthetic products were going to save the world and now we have more polution than ever!

Hi Phil, no not furniture. It is willow, I will cut it into wands about 10ft long then I will use them as binders on a hedge I have just laid.
Now you will ask me what laying a hedge entails, it is when we take a hedge, usually thorn, and we cut through the stem and lay
the stem at an angle, this encourages regrowth from the stump whilst still providing a stock proof barrier. I will put some pictures up tomorrow.
