Ohio / Kentucky Sawyers?

[StevenBiars]

Any other Ohio / Kentucky sawyers around here? I live in Portsmouth, Ohio (see below) and just wanted to see what some of my "neighbors" are up to. I'm looking to start a sustainable forestry initiative, while learning as much as I can about milling and working as an arborist.

Ya Man, right down river from you near cincinnati. I used to work in Ashland Ky., Ironton Oh. area. Got a lot of friends up in Chilicothe.

I do some chainsaw milling and also a firewood hack.

This place has more cutters than an "emo" convention. :msp_rolleyes:

I've gathered up about 90% of what I need for my bandmill, so hopefully I can get it all welded up in the next month or two. Until then, I'm trying to find a few locals to some milling and possibly some wood swapping. I've got a rather large oak (lightning strike) that is probably going to come down next summer, and I'd like to beam and slab as much of it as possible, but I'm sure its too big to cut with my mill.
